Time Travel Special: The Ted Teaching Team Shares Childhood Photos, Revealing Another Answer to Education

Tad's "teachers": On campus, they are rigorous and professional at the podium, patient in academics, and always ready to guide you.Offer a hug and be their support the moment they face challenges.

Have you ever wondered...

Before becoming "teachers," were they also children who splashed in the water at the beach, clung to their stuffed toys, and shyly smiled for the camera?

Today, we invite everyone to hop on a time machine for a special "journey through time" and explore old photos of the faculty and staff at Ted International School.

Those Frozen Innocent Years

Do these slightly faded, even blurry old photos feel especially familiar to you?

From being accompanied to accompanying others

Over the years, the children once captured in photos with innocence have grown up to become integral members of the Ted International School teaching team.

We see more than just the passage of time.We see that these teachers and education practitioners are themselves lifelong learners.They, too, were once children like our current students—growing up, testing boundaries, and stumbling along the way.They've lived through everything children face today, bringing their experiences, insights, and enduring sense of wonder back to the classroom.

At Ted, we strive to cultivate a diverse, inclusive, and vibrant environment for growth—for our students and every member of our teaching team. We hope that every educator here maintains a passion for life.You can only truly connect with children if you keep a "child within" alive in your heart.

Thanks for this "time travel." Photos may yellow, but the story of growing up together renews itself every day at Ted.

On this journey, may we all forever keep our longing for the world.
