Athletics
An Athletics Program for Scholars & Leaders
The mission of the athletic department at Taipei American School is to develop future leaders by cultivating an environment that promotes education, healthy competition, and personal growth through athletics. The department supports the mission and standards of Taipei American School by providing equitable opportunities for student-athletes to participate in quality international athletic competition, while placing intrinsic value on integrity, ethical conduct, academic excellence, wellness, athletic achievement and competitive spirit.
"Sweep the Sheds"
As we strive for excellence on the field and court, our primary purpose remains the holistic growth, leadership development, and character of every student-athlete. Guided by our theme "Sweep the Sheds," we will foster a culture of humility and disciplined habits, ensuring that every member of our program leaves the jersey in a better place than they found it.
Our Philosophy
At Taipei American School, we believe athletics are more than just games — they are an important part of a student’s education and personal journey. Sports give students the chance to challenge themselves, discover new strengths, and learn lessons that last a lifetime.
Winning is exciting, but it is not our only goal. Our greatest success comes when student-athletes grow in skill, confidence, character, and teamwork. Coaches work to create an environment where every student can learn, improve, and feel proud of their effort
Through their athletic experience, we hope student-athletes will:
- discover the joy of healthy competition
- commit to always doing their personal best
- show respect by accepting officials’ decisions with grace
- deepen their understanding of their sport
- develop love and respect for the game
- practice honor, responsibility, and fairness as part of a team
- value participation as its own reward, without expecting special privileges
- work together with a cooperative spirit
- take pride in representing the TAS community
Conference Affiliation
TAS competes interscholastically as a member of the Interscholastic Association of Southeast Asia Schools (IASAS) along with International School Bangkok (ISB), the International School of Kuala Lumpur (ISKL), International School Manila (ISM), Jakarta Intercultural School (JIS), and Singapore American School (SAS).

Athletics by the Numbers
TAS Athletics continues to set the standard for excellence, reflecting the strength, depth, and commitment of our entire Tiger community. From broad student participation across divisions to sustained success on the IASAS stage and recognition in the classroom, our program demonstrates a powerful balance of competitive achievement and academic distinction. The numbers highlight a culture built on teamwork, dedication, and pride in representing TAS.
