IB World Schools in Taiwan

Are you looking for an International Baccalaureate World School in Taiwan? Here you can find a list of schools that have a profile in the IB World Schools Yearbook.

A wide array of international schools serve the expatriate and dual-citizenship communities of Taiwan, which has one of East Asia’s leading tiger economies. Schools are clustered around the capital Taipei and coastal cities of Hsinchu, Taichung and Kaohsiung.

International schools in Taiwan are prohibited from admitting children of Taiwanese nationals who do not also hold an overseas passport. Expatriate children often predominate and schools tend to be expensive, catering to families on expatriate packages. 

Most schools offer an American-style curriculum, International Baccalaureate programmes or a combination of the two, and there are diverse Christian foundations. Coeducational day schooling is the norm and many schools admit children of all ages. But a handful offer boarding and there are several high schools.  

There are 15 IB World Schools in Taiwan. Of these, 10 offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma, while two schools, I-Shou International School and Taipei Kuei Shan School, follow all three IB programmes. 

Taiwan has a highly developed education system founded in the strong Confucian values of its citizens. Education is compulsory from age six to 18 and more than 95 per cent of school leavers go on to university. Taiwan has more than 120 universities and 45 per cent of working age people hold degrees.
