Taipei American School
關於台北美國學校
1949年成立，位於天母的外僑學校，早期是美國國防部的員工學校，學生主要是居住在台北的外國僑民子女、美國在台官員子女、美國出生的在台子女。學校宗旨是培養學生成為誠實、負責任、品格優秀的人，教學結合閱讀與表達，每天都有體育課讓學生有足夠的運動，也時常舉辦各種節慶活動鼓勵家長參加:生日會、校外教學、萬聖節、聖誕節…等等。
學校主要分為三個部門：
國小部(相當於台灣學制：幼稚園到國小五年級)
國中部(相當於台灣學制：國小六年級到國中二年級)
高中部(相當於台灣學制: 國中三年級到高中三年級)
也有招收幼稚園的學生，最低學齡:滿5歲以上
低年級部分，每班除了一位導師，還有一位助理老師，協助學生在課堂中的問題。入學方式孩子一定要有外籍護照，也必須繳交父母與孩子的護照影印本及入台簽證，雖然中華民國法律規定就讀外僑學校的學生須持有外籍（非中華民國）護照， 每年報名人數仍然超出學校的負荷量，因此學校對於入學資格規定嚴密， 主要是採順位制。
About Taipei American School
Founded in 1949, Taipei American School is one of Asia’s top independent schools, offering an American-based education with a truly global perspective to students in pre-kindergarten (KA) through Grade 12 from the expatriate community in Taipei. We offer both AP and IB courses for our students, allowing our learners to personalize their courses to their learning goals.
We are a bridge. Our students begin here, their minds open and eager, their goals and aspirations for the future setting their course. It is our duty as educators and guides to cultivate within them the intellectual and emotional fortitude to take on the challenges ahead. Our community bridges the traditions of the West with the spirit of the East. Our American-based educational program is augmented by a deep respect for learning, development, and achievement. Through our academic program, the rigor and discipline that we instill in our students, we have also become a bridge to the best American colleges and universities, and indeed colleges around the world.
