Find Your Purpose

Whether students opt for dynamic and engaging courses designed by expert educators at TAS, Advanced Placement (AP) and International Baccalaureate (IB) courses, the AP Capstone program, or the full IB Diploma, there are virtually hundreds of course combinations available when crafting a four-year academic experience at TAS. 

Students have the choice to pursue an International Baccalaureate diploma, Advanced Placement courses (including the AP Capstone Certificate and AP Capstone Diploma), a mix of IB/AP, or to receive an American High School diploma.

With 200+ courses available for students in Grades 9–12, including independent research and courses offered by Global Online Academy, we are proud to offer a varied curriculum complemented by an activities and athletics program that includes over 100 student-led clubs and more than twenty athletic teams.

While our program is as flexible as it is rigorous, students who engage deeply with their academic and personal development are fully prepared for their next steps beyond Taipei American School.

Many Paths to University

Under the guidance of a team of seasoned college counselors, our students work to find their best-fit universities, in alignment with their goals, their passions, and their inner sense of purpose. Students receive individual support from their dedicated College Counselor, in addition to college counseling classes that begin in the fall of Grade 11.

Following our comprehensive college counseling process, our students receive acceptance into leading global universities, including Ivy League establishments and esteemed schools across Europe, Asia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States.

Advisory and Beyond

In the Upper School, our advisory classes meet weekly to intentionally build a welcoming and safe environment where students build strong and caring relationships with each other and their advisors. As students and advisors come together to discuss important topics and lessons related to well-being, these strong relationships give students the confidence to share their thoughts, perspectives, and ask questions knowing their input is valued.

From the stage and the studio to the court and the computer, Upper School students have hundreds of extra-curricular activities to choose from each year. With opportunities that complement curricular learning, to the pure exploration of a new cause, skill, or idea, students can choose to deepen their interests or try new things while making new friends. See the myriad ways that student life at TAS is enriched by these programs below.

Academic support is offered in Grades KA-12,  along with speech/language support in Grades K-12. Each program serves students with mild learning differences, with the goal of enabling every child in the program to thrive at TAS. English as an Additional Language support is not offered in Upper School.
