At a glance
Taipei Fuhsing Private School, founded in 1946 as an elementary school, is one of the oldest and most established private schools in the city. In 2007 it opened a Bilingual Division for Grade 1 to Grade 12 students who want dedicated preparation for study at universities abroad. In that division Chinese and mathematics follow the Taiwan government approved curriculum, while English, social studies and science follow United States standards, and the school offers a broad set of Advanced Placement courses in the senior years. The campus sits in Da'an District in central Taipei. For the wider market and how the city compares on curriculum and cost, start with our guide to international schools in Taipei.

Curriculum and academics
The Bilingual Division blends the Taiwan national curriculum with United States standards, so children keep a strong grounding in Mandarin and Chinese subjects while studying English, science and social studies to American benchmarks. In the senior years students take a wide range of Advanced Placement courses that can earn university credit and strengthen applications to selective universities in North America and elsewhere. This is a bilingual pathway rather than a foreign run International Baccalaureate school, which suits families who want their children to remain fluent and literate in Chinese while gaining an English medium academic profile. We describe the programme in the school own terms and do not publish examination figures we cannot verify, so ask the school directly for recent results.
Taipei Fuhsing Private School fees
Taipei Fuhsing sits in the mid band for the city, below the premium foreign run campuses that charge the highest tuition in Taipei. Tuition rises by stage and the full cost of a place is more than tuition alone. We do not print a headline number here because rates are revised each year and the school issues the current schedule to applicants. Beyond tuition, budget for a registration fee and optional extras, and confirm which charges apply to your child grade.

Admissions
Entry to the Bilingual Division centres on the August start of the academic year. Because Fuhsing is a selective and popular school, families should apply early and expect an assessment of English and prior learning alongside a review of school records. Applicants for the youngest bilingual grades are assessed in an age appropriate way, while older applicants are checked for the English level needed to follow the United States side of the curriculum. The school sets out the documents it requires, including transfer papers and residency information, during the application.
Location and who goes there
The school sits in Da'an District, a central and well connected part of Taipei with dense metro coverage that many families consider the heart of the city. Fuhsing draws local Taiwanese families who want a bilingual education, returning overseas Taiwanese and international households who value strong Mandarin alongside an English medium pathway. The right school in Taipei usually comes down to the balance of languages you want, the fee band you can sustain and the commute, so it is worth visiting in person and comparing a shortlist before you decide.
