Taipei American School
Taipei American School (TAS; Chinese: 臺北美國學校; abbreviation TAS) is a non-profit private international school with an American-based curriculum located in Tianmu, Shilin District, Taipei, Taiwan. TAS serves students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. At the high school, students may choose from a range of courses including honors, AP, and IB courses that fulfill the full IB Diploma Program.Founded in 1949, the school served as a U.S. Department of Defense contract school during the U.S. military presence in Taiwan from the 1950s to 1970s. Upon termination of diplomatic relations between the United States and the ROC in 1979, TAS was reorganized into a private international school. The school is operated by the Taipei American School Foundation under contract to the American Institute in Taiwan, the United States' quasi-embassy in Taiwan. The school is a member of the G30 Schools Group. Most graduates of TAS attend colleges and universities in the United States, although some choose to attend schools in other countries due to obliging other national passports to be admitted in the tertiary education across the globe despite having a distinctive American high school educational experience. As required by ROC law, TAS admits only students who hold foreign (i.e. non-ROC) passports.
