From March 13-22, 2026, a delegation of students and teachers from Queen Margaret's School (QMS) in Canada visited Tsinghua University High School (THUHS) for a 10-day in-depth exchange program. This marks the third interaction between the two schools since signing their sister-school agreement in May 2024. Through ongoing and sustained exchanges, both schools are putting into practice their shared commitment to cross-cultural understanding and global competence.

They toured Schwarzman College at Tsinghua University, embarked on a cultural exploration of Beijing's Central Axis, and stayed with their THUHS buddies' families as part of a homestay experience.
