About international schools in New Taipei City, Taiwan

New Taipei City sits inside the wider Taipei metropolitan area and is home to a mix of purpose-built international campuses and bilingual/experimental schools - families often consider schools across both New Taipei and neighbouring Taipei City because many international schools serving expat families are spread across the metro area. Curricula you will commonly find include the International Baccalaureate, American-style programmes (including Advanced Placement options), and bilingual or Taiwan-blended experimental programmes, with most schools teaching primarily in English while offering structured Mandarin study or dual-language tracks. Fees vary widely by school and grade: smaller bilingual schools can charge in the low hundreds of thousands of New Taiwan dollars per year, while established full K - 12 international schools frequently sit in the mid-hundreds of thousands to around a million NT$ a year when all levies are included. Admissions follow a northern-hemisphere academic rhythm with the main intake in August/September, schools recommend applying many months ahead though many also consider rolling or mid-year placements, and places for non-Taiwanese students are subject to Ministry of Education rules about eligibility and documentation.

FAQs for Taiwan

Which curricula and qualifications are available in New Taipei’s international schools?
You will commonly find schools offering International Baccalaureate programmes and American-style curricula (often with AP courses), and some schools run bilingual or Taiwan-blended programmes that combine local strengths with English instruction. The IB is active in Taiwan and a number of Greater Taipei schools run IB programmes, while other schools state US-style diplomas or AP options on their prospectuses - check each school’s published curriculum and programme authorisations to confirm which years and diplomas they offer.
How much should we budget for school fees in New Taipei?
Tuition varies significantly by type of school and grade: published figures for the Taipei metropolitan area show ranges from roughly a few hundred thousand New Taiwan dollars a year at smaller bilingual schools up to NT$700,000 - 1,200,000+ for long-established international K - 12 schools once capital levies and extras are included. Families should budget for additional mandatory and optional costs such as enrollment or capital fees, transport, meals and exam charges, and verify the latest published fee schedule with each school before applying.
When should we apply and what does the admissions timeline look like?
Most international schools in the Taipei metro area run a northern-hemisphere academic year with a main September intake and encourage families to start inquiries 6 - 12 months before the intended start; many schools also accept applications year-round or for mid-year entry if places are available. Schools typically require an application form, recent school reports, proof of identity (passport), and may include assessments, interviews and English-language checks - rules about who may enrol are also governed by Taiwan’s Ministry of Education, so confirm any nationality or residency requirements with the school.
What language support and Mandarin options can we expect?
Most international schools teach core subjects in English and offer structured Mandarin Chinese lessons at multiple proficiency levels; some bilingual or dual-language schools deliver significant parts of the curriculum in both English and Mandarin. If Mandarin fluency is important for your child, ask how the school assesses Mandarin literacy versus conversational ability, how many native Mandarin teachers are on staff, and whether there are pathways back into the local system if you plan a longer stay.
What should relocating families look for when comparing schools in New Taipei?
Prioritise practical factors such as commute time, transport options and whether the school’s academic programme matches your child’s needs (IB vs US vs bilingual), and check accreditation, faculty qualifications, English/Mandarin staffing balance and student support for learning differences. Visit classes where possible, request the school’s recent prospectus and fee schedule, and confirm admissions eligibility under the Ministry of Education rules before making decisions - these steps will help match a child’s stage and language needs to the right local option.
