Dominican International School Kaohsiung

Dominican International School Kaohsiung offers an American-based curriculum rooted in Catholic values, serving students from pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade. Located in the Gushan District, the school features a spacious campus that gives active students ample room for physical education and recess. The academic program focuses on multilingual development; English is the primary language of instruction, while students take five mandatory Mandarin classes each week starting in first grade to build a strong local language foundation. A defining feature of the school is its "Pair Story Time" initiative, where older middle and high school students regularly read to kindergarten and lower-grade children. This cross-grade tradition builds social adaptability, communication skills, and a tight-knit campus culture. The school integrates character education directly into its daily framework, focusing on self-control, moral cognition, and emotional maturity. Extracurriculars include community service programs, arts, and athletics, ensuring students develop personal responsibility alongside their academic requirements.
