How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
Top notch bricks and mortar. Teachers good but scared of the non democratic admin. All the focus is on the wealthy Taiwanese families that have a non Taiwan passport. General assumption is that western kids are stupid.
What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?
Nothing. Sink or swim. Not a friendly atmosphere at all for new comers.
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
PTA closed and run by unfriendly women. Board only does what Admin tells them to. And the voting is not real. All about control and image.
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Unfortunately this is the only option (thus the current state of affairs) help your kids through it- and fight your battles on the western stupid kids syndrome.
