About this school
The International Bilingual School at Tainan-Science-Park (IBST) is the bilingual department of National Nanke International Experimental High School (NNKIEH), a public, co-educational school in the Southern Taiwan Science Park founded in 2006. The bilingual programme began in 2003 with a handful of first and seventh graders at local Nanke schools and took the IBST name in 2012. NNKIEH enrols about 2,348 students, of whom 109 from 14 nationalities are in IBST.
IBST serves families from the English-speaking community seeking an American college-preparatory education, many of them working in science, technology, business, medicine or higher education. The curriculum is built on California standards together with the school's Chinese programme. AP courses include biology, calculus, chemistry, economics, English and US history, and Virtual High School online courses were added in 2018. Students take part in Model UN, debate, journalism, the World Scholar's Cup and a FIRST robotics team.
IBST was first accredited by WASC for six years in 2016 and re-accredited in 2022.
