IB Curriculum International Schools in Taiwan

International schools in Taiwan that follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) are offered by both stand-alone international schools and some bilingual or international departments of Taiwanese schools, with the largest concentration in Taipei, New Taipei, Taichung and Kaohsiung; most of these schools deliver the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma (and a few offer the Career-related Programme). Instruction is usually in English, although several schools run bilingual English - Mandarin pathways or European-language sections and nearly all offer Mandarin as a core language subject. Fees vary widely by school and location: published figures for Taipei show many schools in the mid-range of roughly NT$100,000 - NT$700,000 per year while a small number of established K - 12 schools charge higher tuition; some regional or newer IB providers list “fees on request.” Admissions are typically handled on a rolling basis but families usually apply several months before the school year, and schools commonly require an application fee, entrance testing or interview and an English-level (EAL) assessment - waiting lists are common so contact admissions early and ask about visa or residency paperwork for non-Taiwanese children.
