On a Mission to Support Personal Well-being
Care for the Whole Child
Well-being and balance are essential pursuits and at TAS, students are taught to understand the balance of social, physical, mental, and emotional well-being with the demands of their schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and home life. By doing so, they become more successful in all aspects of their life. We believe that a student's well-being is inextricably linked to their academic performance, and that high performance cannot be achieved without personal well-being.
At each stage of a family's journey through our school, students, parents, and guardians benefit from our student support services ecosystem, including KA-12 wellbeing initiatives, our counselors and psychologists, Learning Support, English-Language Support, College Counseling, and robust Child Safeguarding.
As you explore the different facets of well-being at TAS, we hope you see, and support, our commitment to teaching and developing the whole child, and how we live out this critical value of our mission.
Mental Health Resources
In most cases, toll-free numbers in the United States can be called, for free, via Skype. In Taiwan, for mental health emergencies outside of school hours, please contact The Community Services Center's after-hours Crisis Line at 0932-594-578. Mandarin speakers may call 1925, a 24-hour crisis hotline.

Care in Community
At TAS, we use a homeroom and advisory structure, where students meet with the same teacher and the same group of students. Whether they stay in this learning community throughout the day in Lower School, start the day together in Middle School, or meet regularly in the Upper School, this consistent and caring daily contact provides a stable foundation for our students.
