History

Taiwan Adventist International School is a boarding school operated in North Asia-Pacific Division of Seventh-day Adventists to fill the need of its constituents, missionaries' children, and local, Taiwanese who are looking for Adventist education at the junior high and high school level.

TAIS was established in 2008 by the Adventist Educational Holdings Company to serve the whole of its constituents, and named Taiwan Adventist International School. It opened in August 2008 with 11 teachers and has since grown to 24 faculty and staff. The first 12th grade graduation was in 2010.

TAIS is located on a 50abbr=offNaNabbr=off campus in central Taiwan.

Curriculum

The schools curriculum consists primarily of the standard courses taught at college preparatory schools across the world. All students are required to take classes in the core areas of English, basic sciences, mathematics, a foreign language, and social sciences.

Spiritual aspects

All students take religion classes each year that they are enrolled. These classes cover topics in biblical history and Christian and denominational doctrines. Instructors in other disciplines also begin each class period with prayer or a short devotional thought, many which encourage student input.

Weekly, the entire student body gathers together in the auditorium for an hour-long chapel service.Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement.
