Introduction
Kang Chiao International School has two campuses, one located on the Chinese mainland and one in Taipei.
Kang Chiao’s Taipei campus was founded in 2002. It has become a well-known private school in Taiwan after years of development. All of the graduates from the Taipei campus were accepted by well-known overseas universities in 2013. Roughly 92 percent of the students entered the top 100 universities in American, and 48 percent of them entered the top 100 universities in the world.
Approved by the College Board, the campus was selected as a SAT (Scholastic Assessment Test) test site in Asia, allowing Kang Chiao students to take SAT examinations at their own school.
Located in the Huaqiao Economic Development Zone, East China’s Jiangsu province, Kang Chiao’s mainland campus was established in 2012, following an invitation by the local government.
With an area of 14.33 hectares, the campus can accept students from kindergarten to high school, featuring an integrated system spanning 15 years. It is open to all applicants throughout the county and provides bilingual education starting this September.

Apart from a professional physical training course, Kang Chiao’s students participate in a variety of physical activities, including mountain-climbing, swimming and cycling, to develop a strong mind and healthy body.
Versatile talent
A talent and skills course is set for each student, two lessons per week, including subjects such as piano, violin and painting.

Also, regular performance activities are organized inside and outside school.
