More From TAS

Learning Beyond Our Campus

At Taipei American School, we know that extending learning beyond the classroom is an important part of creating the kinds of learning experiences that stick with our students forever.  Our off-campus excursions are part of curricular classes and extra-curricular opportunities, each offering a refreshing change of scenery for student learning.

Real-World Experiences for Real-Life Learning

From a trip across the road to practice ordering bubble tea in Mandarin or playing soccer at local schools, to showcasing films at the IASAS Cultural Convention around Asia, or competing in a debate tournament in the USA, our off-campus trips maximize student engagement and ownership of their learning, while helping students develop self-efficacy and independence.

Making Connections at Home and Abroad

While trips off campus leave students with incredible memories, the connections our students from with their fellow Tigers can last a lifetime.

On the day of IASAS, I will cry because traveling to the IASAS tournament is my whole high school life and the most important event. I really like our team and I’ll miss everyone when the season ends. It’s almost like family.
