Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between an international school and a bilingual school?
International schools typically use foreign curriculum frameworks (e.g., IB, AP, A-Level, IGCSE) and may award foreign qualifications. Bilingual schools are mostly established under the local education system and provide bilingual instruction in Chinese and English (or other languages). The two differ in curriculum, student registration, and pathways to further study; actual definitions follow each school’s official registration and curriculum.
Which international or bilingual schools in Taiwan can I find here?
This site focuses on international, bilingual, experimental education (including Waldorf and Montessori), and specialized preschools. It consolidates public data such as Google Places and currently includes 99 such schools across Taiwan, searchable by county/city and type. This is a curated directory of specialized schools, not a comprehensive list of all schools in Taiwan (such as regular public elementary and junior high schools, senior and vocational high schools, or colleges/universities). Whether a school is genuinely considered international or bilingual should be based on the school’s official information.
How can I confirm whether a school is an international or bilingual school?
You can check with the school and the local education authority to confirm its registration type, curriculum framework (e.g., IB/AP/A-Level), and language-of-instruction ratio. Foreign schools, experimental education institutions, and bilingual schools all differ in student registration and further-study pathways. This site is a neutral compilation and does not determine the classification of any individual school; official announcements from the school are always the authority.
How much does international school tuition roughly cost?
Fees at international schools generally involve more than tuition. They may include application/registration fees, facility or development fees, materials, school bus, meals, and extracurricular activities, and often rise with grade level. Costs vary significantly from school to school. Details of amounts and items are per the school’s official fee statement.
How do I help my child choose a school?
Start by identifying your goals (such as preparing for a university abroad or maintaining a local student status), budget, and your child’s needs. Then match these with the curriculum model (IB/AP/A-Level/bilingual) and type of school. There is no single right answer. For significant decisions, we recommend visits in person and consultation with a qualified education adviser.
What are the differences between IB, AP, and A-Level curricula?
IB is an interdisciplinary, whole-person-oriented international diploma. AP is a U.S. advanced-placement program assessed by individual subject. A-Level is a British system in which students choose fewer subjects and study them in depth. The three differ in the countries and university application routes they target, and suit different students. Before choosing, compare your intended destination for further study and the subjects each school actually offers. For more, see the article ‘How to choose between IB, AP, and A-Level?’ on this site.
Do foreign schools, international schools, and bilingual schools all mean the same thing?
No, they are three distinct categories. ‘Foreign school’ is an official category approved by the Ministry of Education under the Regulations for the Establishment and Management of Private Foreign Schools and Affiliated Preschools at or Below the Senior Secondary Level; such schools mainly enroll children of foreign nationals. ‘Bilingual school’ refers to a school registered under Taiwan’s school system and taught bilingually in Chinese and English, which local students can enroll in directly. ‘International school’ is a commonly used term that may refer to a foreign school, or to a school using an international curriculum (e.g., IB/AP/A-Level) but actually registered as a bilingual or experimental school; it is not an official legal term. To determine which category a school belongs to, the most reliable way is to check the Ministry of Education’s list of approved foreign schools, or ask the school directly about its registration type.
