Taipei American School (traditional Chinese: 臺北美國學校; pinyin: Táiběi Měiguó Xuéxiào; Wade-Giles: T'ai-pei Mei-kuo Hsüeh-shiao; abbreviation TAS) is a private international school with a largely American-based curriculum located in Tianmu (T'ien-mu), Shilin District (Shih-lin), Taipei City.

Upon the termination of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Republic of China in 1979, TAS was reorganized into a private international school.

The mission of the Taipei American School is as follows:

Taipei American School is an innovative 21st century learning community. Our mission is to inspire each student to be a confident, creative, caring and moral individual prepared to adapt and succeed anywhere in a rapidly changing world. We provide an American-based education with a global perspective that results in a love of learning, academic excellence, a balanced life, and service to other. [1].

History

The first meeting of Taipei American School took place on September 26, 1949 in the basement of Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Zhongshan North Road, with 8 students. This marked the beginning of the "missionary era" where Chinese and American medical missionaries were instrumental in founding TAS and providing it with students. The first class of students included American, European, and Chinese students. is the 269th day of the year (270th in leap years) in the Gregorian calendar. ...

A missionary is a propagator of religion, often an evangelist or other representative of a religious community who works among those outside of that community. ...


By 1951, the influx of missionaries and businesspeople escaping from mainland China caused enrollment to grow to 120 students. By 1952, TAS was forced to relocate to Nong'an East Road to provide enough space for the growing student population. Year 1951 (MCMLI) was a common year starting on Monday (link will display the full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ... ...


In 1953, the U.S. Military Assistance Advisory Group was established in Taiwan. This brought to the island a large number of U.S. military personnel. Along with these military personnel came their families, including a large number of children needing an American-style education. TAS became the school for the children of the U.S. military personnel. In the summer of 1953, TAS constructed a much larger campus at Chang'an East Road. This marked the beginning of the "military era." Year 1953 (MCMLIII) was a common year starting on Thursday (link will display full calendar) of the Gregorian calendar. ...


In 1956, TAS graduated its first class of 14 seniors. By then, the Chang'an campus had approximately 50 faculty members and 1,000 students.

The upper school remained at the Chang'an campus until 1967, when the last upper facilities was completed. By 1969, TAS enrollment reached its highest point ever with nearly 3,000 students.

The 1970 to 1977 period has been termed the "labor-intensive industries era."[citation needed] Taiwan's transforming economy brought foreign businessmen and overseas Chinese into the local economy, setting the stage for TAS's later transformation even as enrollment shrank dramatically as U.S. military pulled out of Taiwan. By the late seventies, student enrollment dropped to approximately 650 to 700 students. However, within a few years enrollment started to increase again as overseas Chinese with foreign passports arrived in Taiwan searching for first-class American educational facilities for their children. The early eighties marked the start of the "Chinese-American era," where the majority of students were ethnically Chinese and also U.S. citizens. The conditions are still the same now.[citation needed] Languages various Religions Predominantly Taoism, Mahayana Buddhism, traditional Chinese religions, and atheism. ...
