Taipei American School

At Taipei American School we offer countless opportunities for students to discover more about the world and about themselves. We proudly celebrate the diversity of perspectives, experiences, and talents represented throughout our community and strive to foster an inclusive and positive learning environment. Our goal is to cultivate an enduring commitment to learning, personal well-being, and service, developing students of character who will make the world a better place through their actions. It is our hope not only that our students thrive academically at Taipei American School, but also that they will make friends, discover passions, draw on strengths, rebound from failures, and enjoy the educational journey.

Taipei American School is a community that relies on its members to ensure a positive experience for everyone. We believe that our values of honesty, respect, responsibility, kindness and courage are fundamental and are the overarching expected standards for behavior. This handbook introduces campus rules and regulations as well as guidelines for student behavior. It is designed to provide helpful information that will enable students and parents to experience the fullest of what Taipei American School has to offer. We require lower school parents to read and acknowledge their understanding of the guidelines in the handbook as part of the reenrollment process.

Like any good school, Taipei American School is always evolving, so even longtime students and parents are encouraged to read the handbook again. This handbook is not exhaustive, nor is it intended to be, nor does it contractually bind Taipei American School. We reserve the right to modify, add or depart from, or replace this information without notice. Changes to the handbook will be made to this electronic version, so please bookmark this page. In addition, information specific to the school year can be found in the TAS Parent Zone and on the all-school calendar http://www.tas.edu.tw/divisional-handbooks/home/lower
