Welcome to AST

Welcome to the American School in Taichung, where our community is built on the shared values of compassion, courage, integrity, and contribution. These core values shape how we support each student, as we work together to nurture not only academic success but also the personal growth of every individual who joins our school.

At AST, we believe in preparing students for a world that is constantly changing. Through a balanced approach that integrates technology, creative and critical thinking, and collaborative communication, we encourage our students to engage deeply with their learning and the wider world. Our goal is to empower them with the skills they need to become confident, thoughtful, and compassionate global citizens.

We are guided by a Western educational philosophy that emphasizes the development of the whole child. This means our focus extends beyond academics, nurturing the social and emotional well-being of each student. We offer a diverse and challenging curriculum that allows students to explore their interests and passions while receiving the individualized support they need to thrive.

A sense of belonging is at the heart of our school experience. Through a wide range of sports, arts, and extracurricular activities, students are encouraged to discover their talents, build relationships, and develop teamwork skills.

As a school, we are committed to fostering a warm, inclusive environment where every student can find their place, develop their strengths, and contribute meaningfully to the community. Our primary goal at AST is to ensure everyone feels included, valued and like they belong.
