About international schools in Taiwan

British-curriculum international schools in Taiwan typically deliver the English National Curriculum in English, often leading into Cambridge IGCSE and either A-Levels or an international pathway such as the IB Diploma at senior level. Many of these schools offer regular Mandarin language lessons and some run bilingual strands, so families can choose programmes that emphasise English immersion or stronger Chinese development. Fees vary widely by school and location: in Taipei international school tuition commonly sits in the mid hundreds of thousands of New Taiwan dollars per year, with some schools charging substantially more and a few smaller programmes charging less. Admissions usually follow a main intake at the start of the academic year with limited mid-year places, and schools must verify eligibility under Taiwan’s rules for schools for international residents (typically requiring a non-ROC passport).

FAQs for Taiwan

What does “British curriculum” mean in the Taiwan context?
In Taiwan a British-curriculum school generally teaches the English National Curriculum in primary and lower secondary years and prepares older students for Cambridge IGCSEs and either A-Levels or alternative post-16 qualifications such as the IB Diploma. Some schools run a British programme within a multi-section or European school and may mix elements (for example a British secondary leading into the IB Diploma).
At what ages are IGCSEs and A-Levels taken, and are there other senior pathways?
IGCSEs are normally taken at about age 14 - 16 and A-Levels at 16 - 18 in traditional British routes, while many international schools also offer the IB Diploma or other international qualifications for 16 - 18 year-olds. Schools will publish which senior pathway they run, so check whether a school’s post-16 programme is A-Level, IB or an alternative before applying.
What language support and additional languages can we expect?
Teaching is primarily in English at British-curriculum schools, while Mandarin Chinese is commonly offered as a compulsory or elective language and many schools provide English-as-an-additional-language support for newcomers. The Ministry of Education also promotes bilingual and international education, so some schools run stronger bilingual or immersion strands if you want more Chinese alongside the British curriculum.
How much should we budget and what extra costs are typical?
Tuition levels vary markedly between providers and locations; families can expect mid-range international school fees in Taipei to sit in the mid-hundreds of thousands of New Taiwan dollars per year, with flagship schools at the higher end and some smaller programmes noticeably less. Beyond tuition, budget for one-off entrance or capital fees (where charged), school uniforms, bus services, exam fees for IGCSE/IB/A-Level and optional extras such as EAL support, trips and extracurricular programmes.
What is the admissions rhythm and are there residency or passport requirements?
Most British-curriculum international schools have a main intake at the start of the school year and accept a smaller number of mid-year entrants, with assessments and interviews used to place pupils; some schools operate rolling assessments but mid-year places are often limited. Under Taiwan’s regulations for schools for international residents, international schools normally enrol children holding foreign passports, and families should check visa and residence-permit requirements if they plan to stay long-term.
