Taipei European School (TES), Taiwan, was founded more than 20 years ago with a commitment to provide a learning environment for the children of foreign (European, in particular) investors and entrepreneurs who reside in Taiwan, assuring an education offering not only identical curriculum standards as their European home country, but also exposure to an authentic yet dynamic Chinese cultural and language setting. The school consists of four sections: British, French, German and the High School. It is home to over 1,700 students and 400 staff members from 50 different nationalities.

We operate on two campuses: Swire European Primary Campus at FuGuo Road, ShiLin, and Swire European Secondary Campus at JianYe Road, Yang Ming Shan.

Our growing reputation in Taiwan and Asia has seen demand for places reach record levels. We are hugely proud of the fact that our graduates consistently win places at universities that are among the best in the world.

We believe that our students develop admirable qualities of cultural understanding, compassion, empathy and tolerance through their daily life at school which is focused on its mission of "promoting European culture and values within the context of Taiwanese society." Our mission also has a strong emphasis on "educational excellence" where we encourage students to strive to develop to their full potential - not just academically but in a much broader sense through the many cultural, community, artistic, sporting and charity activities that feature prominently in our extra-curricular calendar.

TES continues to receive very positive and encouraging reports from inspection agencies from Germany, Britain and France and we have been granted full accreditation from two of the world's leading accreditation bodies: the Council of International Schools (CIS) based in Europe and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) based in the United States. This joint accreditation provides further evidence to our stakeholders of our commitment to excellence.

At TES, excellence in education is at the forefront of our objectives. We provide a rigorous yet nurturing and happy environment in which our students become responsible, culturally-rich, well-intentioned global citizens who are able to contribute positively and constructively to the world they will inherit. We create opportunities within and outside of the classroom that allow our students to develop enquiring, challenging and open minds.
