The faculty at TAIS are qualified, foreign, Christian teachers from a variety of English-speaking countries. TAIS teachers are committed to the Adventist philosophy of education that affirms each student as a unique creation of God, endowed with inherent worth and purpose. TAIS teachers play a vital role in nurturing the holistic development of each student and equipping them for a life of purpose and service. The teacher-student ratio of 1:4 and small class sizes support deep, personalized learning and strong relational dynamics that are essential for nurturing the whole person.

Grades 7–8: One class per level based on English proficiency, approximately 3–15 students. Grades 9–12: Courses are scheduled based on graduation requirements; students attend different subject classes, each with 3–18 students.

TAIS follows the tradition of Western private boarding schools and is primarily a residential program. Except for students living near Yuchi or Puli, boarding is required. Dorm life and weekend activities foster strong teacher–student relationships, personal growth, independence, and life skills while helping students explore interests and future academic directions.

Grades 7–8: Additional bilingual support in some core subjects or differentiated materials based on English level; an extra Language Arts course strengthens foundational English. Grades 9+: Students begin with ELL (English Language Learning) courses alongside selected credit-bearing subjects (e.g., PE or computer classes). Once students reach CEFR B2, they transition to full-credit academic courses. ELL support is built into the regular schedule—there are no separate remedial classes. Students may also arrange free after-school academic consultations with teachers. Daily English immersion gradually strengthens language ability without the need for outside cram schools.

TAIS operates under Christian values and principles inspired by the Seventh-day Adventist philosophy, but students are not required to change their personal beliefs, and all students are treated equally. All students take a “Life & Interpersonal Education” course focusing on character development. Grades 7–8: Bible stories and character education appropriate to students’ age. Grades 9+: Academic exploration of the Bible alongside personal growth and well-being topics, helping students better understand Western culture and themselves.

No. TAIS graduates may apply to universities in any country that recognizes a U.S. high school diploma. Students hold dual Taiwan–U.S. academic status, and the U.S. diploma is fully recognized. Taiwan experimental education completion documents are approved by the Ministry of Education. Graduates have multiple pathways worldwide, and past students have not experienced admission issues due to diploma recognition.

Yes. As a standard U.S. high school program, Grades 9–12 students must complete recognized college readiness assessments (e.g., ACT, SAT), similar to students in other systems taking national entrance exams. TAIS does not offer guaranteed direct admission partnerships. Instead, students are encouraged to develop individual strengths and pursue universities globally without restriction.

In terms of college counseling, TAIS encourages students to explore their individual potential and develop personal strengths, preparing them for university opportunities worldwide. Students are not limited to applying to universities in a single country, nor are they restricted to a small number of partner institutions. Currently, TAIS does not offer direct-entry agreements with specific universities; instead, students are equipped with globally recognized qualifications that allow flexible and unrestricted academic pathways.

TAIS provides a structured dormitory system led by dorm deans and senior student leaders. Students learn daily life skills --laundry, personal organization, and time management through guided practice and community living. Each dorm (boys/girls) has a dedicated dean who supports students with care and patience, similar to a parental role, while also providing emotional support and daily life assistance.
