[edit] Departments

The school is composed of five departments: four "regular" departments (Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High and Senior High School) and one Bilingual department.

The four regular departments facilitate a local Mandarin education and adopt the Taiwan (ROC) national curriculum. The Senior High School Department is regarded as one of the best senior high schools in the nation, with the highest admission scores in the Hsinchu-Miaoli area.

The Bilingual Department (with grades 1-12) serves students in the English-speaking community who seek an American college-preparatory education or plan to transfer to the local school system. Students come from business, professional, government, and diplomatic families. At a time, 47% of the Bilingual Department parents had PhD's; Of a total school enrollment of 2,965, the Bilingual Department has 537 students: 311 carry USA passports, with many students bearing various nationalities such as Indian or Korean.

The department was operated as a magnet program to attract overseas scholars and professionals to stay in the Hsinchu "Greater Science Park Area" by providing special education opportunities to their children.
