About this school
Dominican International School Kaohsiung (DISK) traces its origins to January 1954, when Dominican Sisters began teaching two American children in Kaohsiung. The school formally opened in 1956, moved to its present site on Chung Hua 1st Road in Gushan District in 1967, added an academic building in 1985 and took its current name in 2015. A new campus is under development.
DISK is a Catholic, English-medium school for Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12, organised into early years, elementary (Grades 1-5), middle school (6-8) and high school (9-12).

High school students can take Pre-AP and AP courses such as calculus BC, microeconomics, environmental science and AP Seminar, and complete 100 hours of service learning. EAL and Chinese as a Second Language support are offered.
