School Board

The Taipei American School Board of Directors:

• Establishes a clear mission and vision, and strategic goals consistent with these.
• Ensures the financial health, stability, and future of the School.
• Selects, supports, and evaluates the TAS Head of School.

The TAS Board is a hybrid board consisting of up to 14 members: 9 elected board members and 5 appointed board members, including one appointed representative from AIT.  Elected Board members are current TAS parents and serve for three-year terms. Appointed Board members serve for four-year terms. All Board members are volunteers and serve without compensation. The Board generally meets monthly and has at least one Meeting of the General Members a year.

A nominating committee made up of TAS parents and board members seeks candidates from the parent community to run in the Board election. Information about the candidates is distributed to parents at the end of March. The Meet-the-Candidates program gives parents an opportunity to get to know the candidates and ask questions. The new Board members are announced at the spring Meeting of the General Members.

The TAS Board adheres to the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) Principles of Good Practice.
