- Respect: Maintain a respectful attitude in communications and interactions.

Academic integrity is a principle that promotes personal integrity and fosters respect for others and their scholarly work within an educational environment. This principle plays a crucial role in teaching and learning, ensuring fairness and providing all students with an equal opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge and skills they have acquired. Academic integrity is essential for maintaining fairness, trust, and credibility in educational institutions and within the broader community.
At UTS, we aim to create an educational environment that encourages initiative, creative thinking, and diverse methods of expressing creative ideas. In this context, academic integrity is an indispensable element for the school to cultivate a safe and supportive learning environment where students have the space and opportunity to present ideas and freely develop their thinking. Academic integrity is closely tied to the value of Integrity—one of the six core values the school seeks to instill in each student. In academics, the following behaviors are considered dishonest:
- Plagiarism involves copying others’ ideas, homework, essays, or citations from another’s work, or from reference materials, books, and the Internet. Students must cite references properly;
- Cheating during tests and exams is copying answers from other students, writing down notes, or storing materials in electronic devices or mobile phones;
- Intentionally allowing other students to copy one’s work.
Any act of academic dishonesty will be reviewed and investigated by the Academic Integrity Committee and addressed according to the school’s positive disciplinary regulations.
Building academic integrity among students is a long journey that requires the students’ self-awareness as well as the support of teachers and parents in various aspects of learning.
Responsibilities |
|
|---|---|
|
Teacherss |
Teachers are responsible for discussing academic honesty with students and encouraging them to truthfully acknowledge the resources that have supported them in completing their assignments, such as help from friends, assistance from parents, or other sources of information. Teachers should set an example by transparently citing and acknowledging the sources that have supported their teaching. |
|
Students |
Students are expected to honestly acknowledge the sources that have supported them in their learning. They are encouraged to complete their homework independently, emphasizing that the effort should be their own. |
|
Parents |
Parents are expected to understand the school's Academic Integrity policy and support its implementation by fostering an environment of trust and honesty at home. |
In line with the goal of helping students achieve their desired academic outcomes, UTS has implemented a Learning Support Program for students at the school.
We understand that each student has different backgrounds and skills, and some may struggle to adapt to the learning program at UTS. Therefore, the Learning Support Program has been designed to make the curriculum more accessible to students who have not yet achieved the expected results. These students will be allocated in supplementary classes (Tutorials) to receive additional support in strengthening their basic English skills if the International Program teachers identify this need. The small group setting allows teachers to better recognize each student’s individual needs and provide appropriate support, thereby improving their English reading and comprehension skills, enabling them to keep up with the curriculum alongside their peers.
At UTS, we believe that every student has great potential for growth, and their journey of personal development is just as important as their academic achievements. This journey helps build students’ confidence and courage to participate and integrate into their classes. This program provides opportunities for students facing challenges in the classroom to catch up with their peers in a safe, non-judgmental environment. The teachers teaching these classes are trained with the necessary skills and knowledge. UTS hopes that this program will support students in achieving the goals that both the students, their families, and the school aspire to.
UTS teachers are not permitted to tutor students outside of school hours. If parents have arranged for their child to receive tutoring outside of school, the tutor should communicate with the homeroom teacher to ensure that the tutor can best support the student.
To prevent tutors from overly interfering with students’ independent learning and to help students avoid violating the Academic Integrity policy, students and parents should clearly communicate the following guidelines to tutors:
- Tutors may assist students in understanding the terminology, content, and concepts of the subject.
- Tutors should not write any part or all of an essay, report, or review on behalf of the student.
- Tutors should not provide interpretations for students to include in their essays, reports, or reviews.
- Tutors should not write or dictate complete sentences for students to use in their assignments.
- Tutors should not perform calculations on behalf of the student.
If Parents (or students) are unclear about the appropriate behavior guidelines for tutors, they should discuss this with the teacher before the assignment is submitted. All the above behavior guidelines also apply to parents, siblings, friends, or any individual who assists with the student’s learning.

In the effort to nurture the overall safety and well-being of all members of the community, UTS strives to create an open and connected environment where community members are listened, share, and receive both physical and emotional care. The Mental Health and Counseling team at the school is established with the goal of comprehensively receiving, assessing, and supporting issues and concerns related to mental and emotional health for all Students and Parents. The counseling team is always ready to support, intervene, and counsel on situations affecting the mental and emotional health of school members, as well as to provide ongoing support after intervention.
To ensure that the support and intervention provided by the Mental Health and Counseling office are effective, safeguarding safety, happiness, and confidentiality for all parties involved, the school has established the following procedures for receiving support and counseling for each case:
If Students or Parents notice psychological or emotional concerns and need support, they can proactively contact a counselor through the following process:
- Receiving Information
- For Students: Students can contact the psychologist directly at the Mental Health and Counseling Office or schedule an appointment through their homeroom teacher.
- For Parents: Parents can contact and arrange a meeting with the psychologist through the Parent Liaison Office (PLO).
- Counseling and Support
After receiving the information, the counselor will analyze, counsel, and support the Parents and Students. After each counseling session, the counselor will record information in the Councelling notebook and Observasion form. All counseling content and recorded information are intended for long-term support and are kept completely confidential.
In some cases, the counselor may recommend one or more of the following steps:
- Schedule additional counseling and intervention sessions in the future.
- Suggest disclosing non-identifiable information to a more experienced specialist for supervision, ensuring the effectiveness of the councelling process.
- Transfer to a more suitable psychological counseling unit or a medical unit for in-depth mental health intervention.
- Provide teachers with Notes/Recommendations for additional support at school.
After completing the counseling, the psychologist will continue to monitor and make timely and appropriate adjustments to the support and intervention as needed.
During the process of studying and daily activities, teachers, professional staff, family members, or guardians may recognize and have concerns about the psychological and emotional state of a student. In such situations, teachers, professional staff, family members, or guardians can contact a psychologist for advice on how to approach and support the student according to the following procedure:
- Receiving Information
When concerns arise about a student’s psychological and emotional state, teachers and parents can contact the School Counseling Office for support.
- For Teachers: They can either communicate directly with the counselors or send information through the Academic Department to the counsellor.
- For Parents: They should contact the Parent Liasion Office to pass the information to the counselor.
- Receiving Information and Advising on Approach
After receiving information from the relevant parties, the counselor will review, analyze, and provide advice on the approach as well as support teachers and parents in the process of advising on approach. Depending on the situation, before offering advice on the approach, the school counselor may carry out one or both of the following steps:
- Monitor the Student in Class: The counselor arranges one or more sessions to observe the student’s behavior in class to determine an appropriate approach.
- Suggest the Student Proactively Work with the Psychologist: When deemed necessary, the counselor may suggest encouraging the student to proactively work with the them. This must be done entirely on the student’s voluntary basis, and the process will be fully confidential.
- Throughout and after the counseling process, the counselor continuously monitors all feedback and progress of the approach to make necessary adjustments, updates, and provide additional advice as appropriate at each stage.
Experiential Learning Activities at UTS are designed and guided by the School’s educational philosophy, aiming to nurture the 6 core values as well as to build Global Citizenship and Cross-cultural Learning spirit in students. Upon enrollment, students can choose to join clubs in various areas. Throughout their studies, they are also involved in Experiential Learning programs outside the school campus to explore additional valuable knowledge.
Activity Schedule:
Clubs will take place from Monday to Thursday each week, within the School’s campus.
– Open Clubs (No Fee): 15:50 – 16:30
– Intensive Clubs (Fee Required): 15:50 – 16:50
Club Information
UTS organizes Clubs so that students can choose to participate according to a fixed weekly schedule. These Clubs enable students to experience new knowledge and skills outside of the regular curriculum. The Clubs are taught by a team of qualified Teachers/Coaches, allowing students to fully develop their talents and interests, as well as providing them with valuable relaxation time and opportunities to connect with peers in their grade. The Clubs at UTS include the following main groups:
· Art Club: Guides students to experience various art subjects such as Embroidery, Music, etc.
· Sports Club: Guides students to experience various sports subjects such as Badminton, Football, etc.
· Skills Club: Guides students to practice useful skills such as MC, Life Skills, etc.
· Thinking Club: Guides students to develop logical thinking and problem-solving skills, such as Cognitive Math, Fun Science, etc.
· Intensive Club: Includes various subjects, allowing students to practice in-depth and refine their skills further.
To provide students with valuable practical experiences and build connections with the surrounding community, thereby promoting Global Citizenship and Service Learning, the school regularly organizes off-campus Experiential Learning trips. These trips allow students to explore various aspects of society, such as learning about different professions, visiting culturally and historically significant sites, and addressing related issues, which complements the knowledge gained in their academic subjects.
When participating in Experiential Learning Activities, students are supervised and managed by teachers and school staff. Students are guided to adhere to the school’s principles, expectations, and safety standards at all times. Throughout the Experiential Learning process, school medical staff and teachers are always available to support any health-related situations.
The House System at UTS is an integral part of the UTS’ commitment to providing a comprehensive education. For this reason, participation in the UTS House System is mandatory for all students and staff.
A school’s House System plays a crucial role in creating a well-rounded development environment. Throughout the school year, the school will organize a variety of House competitions and events to encourage team spirit, a sense of responsibility, individual talents, and most importantly, to strengthen friendships within the class and foster close connections between different grade levels. The House Activities Program focuses on the following aspects:
Global Citizenship and Sustainability
- Safety and Well-being
- Intercultural Learning
The UTS House System consists of six Houses, each named after a precious gem. These names were chosen with the belief that each student is a precious gem, possessing unique qualities, colors, and potential. The mission of the educators at UTS is to polish and nurture these talents so that students can shine brightly.
Upon enrollment, all students will be assigned to a House (except for grades 1-2) to ensure that each House has a balanced number of students across all grades, fostering diversity and inclusivity in every aspect. If a student has siblings, all siblings will be assigned to the same House to facilitate orientation and familiarization. Once assigned, students will remain in the same House throughout their school years.
Students will be randomly assigned to Houses to ensure an even distribution of boys and girls and a balanced number of students across grades in each House. This method aims to create equilibrium among the Houses, thereby promoting a spirit of healthy competition.
The school expects all students and teachers/staff to wear their House shirts on days when House competitions and events are held. This action serves as a tangible symbol of each individual’s connection to their House and fosters unity and close friendships among participants.

School property is provided to serve the purposes of teaching and learning. Proper use and maintenance of school property ensure that all members of the school have equal opportunities to access and use these shared resources. Therefore, all students must be conscious of and contribute to the preservation of school property.
Students who cause damage to school property will be required to pay for the repair or replacement of the damaged items.
The policy will be communicated in writing for each specific case.
Students are not allowed to bring food and drinks (except for plain water) into classrooms, the library, and functional areas within the school. Chewing gum is strictly prohibited on school premises and on school buses.
Note:
- Birthday parties or events involving food and drinks organized by students can only be held in the school’s cafeteria during break times or after school hours.
- If a student’s birthday party or event coincides with a previously planned official school event or activity, the school will prioritize the official school event or activity.
- Foods and beverages allowed on the UTS premises for birthday parties and student-organized events must be specifically reported to the Parent Liasion Office. A list of permissible foods and beverages will be detailed in the table below.
Except for educational purposes with prior permission from the school administration, pets are not allowed on the school premises under any circumstances or at any time.
All students are responsible for managing their personal property. The school advises against bringing valuable items such as large sums of money or valuable objects to class. It is the responsibility of each student to safeguard and protect their personal belongings; the school is not responsible for any loss of personal property.
A UTS model demonstrates honesty and respect in both academic and daily life. Students who find lost items should return them to their owner or submit them to the school office. Students found stealing other people’s belongings will face the highest level of disciplinary action.
Each student is provided with a personal locker. Lockers must be kept clean, tidy, and organized; writing or drawing on lockers is prohibited. Students who intentionally write, draw, or damage their lockers will face disciplinary action according to school regulations.
