About this school
Taipei Adventist American School (TAAS) began in 1955 as a small home-style school for the children of Seventh-day Adventist missionaries and doctors at Taiwan Adventist Hospital, first meeting in the basement of the hospital dormitory. In the mid-1980s it moved to a purpose-built campus on Yangmingshan in Shilin District, and in 1991 it was registered with the Taiwan government as a foreign school for international students. It has grown from around 15 missionary children to more than 120 students.
TAAS offers an American education from Grade 1 to Grade 8, organised into lower grades (1-4) and upper grades (5-8), within a Christian setting that attends to students' spiritual and moral growth. Specialist classes include music, PE, Chinese and technology, and the school provides an English language learner programme, learning support, counselling and a library. It is linked to the Adventist Accrediting Association and the Adventist school network in Taiwan.
The campus is a three-storey building with classrooms on the upper floors and offices below, later extended with a separate house for Chinese, EAL and learning support.
