Introduction

Kang Chiao International School - Xiugang Campus, established in 2002 and located on the 4.5-hectare Xiugang Hill in New Taipei City at an elevation of 500 meters, offers bilingual education for Grades 7 to 12. The school provides multiple curricular pathways, including the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), IB Diploma Programme (DP), Advanced Placement (AP), and a localized Taiwanese curriculum. Notably, the campus features a 1.8-hectare field education area with indigenous plant life and trails through cherry forests, supporting its focus on environmental awareness. A distinctive feature of the student experience is the mandatory "Exploring Taiwan/Asia Program." As part of this signature initiative, students must complete physical and cultural challenges such as climbing the 3,886-meter Syue Mountain in Grade 8, swimming 3.3 kilometers across Sun Moon Lake in Grade 9, and undertaking a 1,000-kilometer cycling journey around Taiwan in Grade 10.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Complete Online Application Form. The Xiugang Campus admissions page starts with submitting a completed online application form, which initiates the process for G7–G12 applicants. This step signals the intention to enroll and begins the intake workflow for placement assessment. 2. Submit required documents and fees. After submitting the online form, parents are asked to provide a copy of the Household Certificate or ARC (for foreigners), the latest report card, the school bus service application form (if needed), and to pay for textbooks, tuition, and the uniform fee. These items are essential for the admissions review and final placement decisions. 3. English proficiency testing. All applicants are required to take the school's English proficiency test as part of the evaluation process. This testing is used to help determine readiness for an English-language academic environment. 4. Placement assessment and interviews. The Registrar will arrange English and Math placement tests and an interview for the student. Placement considers years of schooling completed, exam results, and the student's age; the school reserves the right to determine the proper placement, using testing, interviews, and records review to inform the decision. Final grade placement is determined by the Principal. 5. Waiting list if spaces are full. If there is no space available in a grade level, applicants shall be placed on a waiting list. 6. Enrollment after acceptance.
