The 4,380 square meters of usable space provides unique opportunities for all of our students. For example, upper school students learn in an electrical engineering lab and design in a fabrication hub on the upper school floors. Highly advanced equipment, currently not found in any other high school lab in the world, is available to our students. The middle school floor houses a VEX arena and robotic design lab, as well as vast open areas for art and innovation. Floor two, dedicated to lower school students, is designed to include "tinker and maker” spaces as well as an amphitheater. T

Speech, Debate & Model U.N.

Our students have numerous curricular and co-curricular opportunities to participate in public speaking activities including Speech, Debate, Model United Nations, and more.

Teaching Minds that Speak their Minds

Speech and debate imbues future world leaders with critical thinking skills. At TAS, over 130 students participate in Speech & Debate every year. 

Stand Up to Stand Out

Colleges recruiters say one way to stand out in their admissions process is participation and excellence in Speech & Debate. Since the inception of the program, 108 TAS students have qualified for the U.S. National Tournament! 

Modeling Global Harmony

First MS MUN Overseas Conference in 2011

Each year, TASMUN welcomes 600 participants, 180 of whom represent TAS from Grades 5-12, with 23 visiting delegations from Vietnam, Indonesia, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea and Taiwan.

Over 40 Years of Global Competition...and Confidence Building!

As a member of the IASAS community, TAS students compete in sports and share their achievements in the arts with like-minded institutions throughout Asia. 

Making Movies to Move Young Minds

Creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and teamwork come together in our fully equipped film studies studio.

A World of Opportunities

Events and competitions like IASAS Athletics tournaments, IASAS MUN and the IASAS Cultural Convention bring our students to the world, and our world to the students.

A Supportive Community that Prioritizes DEIJ & Well-being

Student health and well-being is our number one priority. At TAS, we believe that a supportive, safe, and caring environment is the foundation that all students deserve, and it forms the bedrock of our mission statement. Every area of student life features an intentional plan to support our students' well-being and confident identity formation.

Prioritizing Balance and Well-being

Our learning community extends beyond our students! Parents, alumni, and employees join in regular conversations about wellbeing, DEIJ, and other important topics. 

Dedicated Discussions and Opportunities to Share

From our Director of Inclusion and Wellbeing to our Academic and Personal Counselors, parents have regular opportunities to learn about how education is evolving and how to support their children.   

Hands-on Workshops and a Repository of Resources

Tiger parents are welcomed to campus for workshops offered at different times of the day. Can't make it? We record as many of our presentations and workshops as possible for you to review later!

A Campus Designed for Athletes of All Ages

Tigers need room to play and grow - and that's doubly true for our Tiger Athletes. With almost 1,000 Tiger athletes participating in our middle and upper school competitive programs, our sprawling 15-acre campus serves 13 different sports (not including informal sports taught during P.E. classes!).

Hear Us Roar!

Whether on the pitch, the court, or the field, our student athletes connect with themselves and with other students.  

Teamwork and Technique Taught by Caring Coaches

Our students know that our community of over 100 coaches are proud to see them develop as athletes. We value our team connection and commitment! 

Fantastic Facilities for a Fabulous Experience

From indoor tennis courts, two basketball courts, a baseball field, a soccer field, and even a golf drive, TAS has the facilities for student athletes to thrive as they practice!

Outdoors Education and Trips

In line with our missions' emphasis on personal well-being, all children in our Lower and Middle Schools experience a curricular outdoors education program at "Camp Taiwan" for our Lower School students and at three different camps for our Middle School students.

Upper School Travel

While the Upper School does not go to a curricular camp in the same way, almost all students travel abroad for a curricular or co-curricular program by the time they graduate - and some travel more than once every year depending on their interests and passions!

Lower School Camp Taiwan

This is the highlight of many students' Lower School journey. Starting in Grade 3, students travel to Camp Taiwan with their friends and trusted teachers. For many students, this is their first experience away from home and their first time exploring the beautiful countryside of Taiwan.

Middle School Camps Throughout Taiwan

After transitioning into the Middle School, we know our Tigers are experienced campers - so we challenge them with new locations and experiences at three different locations in Taiwan. All trips feature advisory bonding experiences, leadership development, and service projects as a way to align the trips with our mission and values.

Community Connections

Once a Tiger, 
Always a Tiger

Our students, employees, parents, and alumni stay connected with one another and the school through a love of this unique community and the memories we've made together.
