The trip focused on understanding Taiwan\u2019s educational landscape and exploring potential student recruitment opportunities for HCIS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visit to New Taipei City Shenkeng Elementary School \u2013 25 April<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At New Taipei City Shenkeng Elementary School, the Principal provided a comprehensive overview of Taiwan\u2019s education system. Notably, Taiwan offers multiple pathways to university without a major national examination. Students can choose between academic and technical tracks based on their interests and aptitudes. A particularly striking observation was the sizable home-schooling community across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Education promotes a practical and inclusive approach to lifelong learning. Elementary schools, such as Shenkeng, serve as key community hubs by hosting adult education classes during evenings and weekends. This reinforces the school\u2019s role as a central pillar of neighbourhood life and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Visit to New Taipei City Shenkeng Junior High School<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">At Shenkeng Junior High School, the team learned that Taiwan\u2019s national curriculum is designed to provide holistic education, balancing academic learning with character development. Schools are encouraged to create school-based courses tailored to their unique community needs. For students less inclined towards academics, the technical track offers options such as Food and Beverage, Woodwork, and Handicrafts. Students are hands-on in building items like tables, ladder-chairs, pushcarts, and even ukuleles. The school also boasts its own kiln for pottery work, reflecting a strong emphasis on creative and practical skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex

Preparations include six pre-hike training sessions, long-distance runs, and stair climbing with added weight to build physical and mental endurance. The program integrates the \u201cLeave No Trace\u201d (LNT) environmental philosophy, instilling respect for nature while promoting resilience and leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Grade 9, students complete a swim across Taiwan\u2019s iconic Sun Moon Lake \u2014 a rite of passage that embodies the school\u2019s commitment to holistic education and personal growth. These experiential learning activities reflect KCIS\u2019s emphasis on cultivating willpower, self-confidence, and a strong sense of purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8632-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3193\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8632-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8632-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8632-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8632-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_8632-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4636f068-b63d-4255-bfae-dce84cc4bcc0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4636f068-b63d-4255-bfae-dce84cc4bcc0.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4636f068-b63d-4255-bfae-dce84cc4bcc0-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/4636f068-b63d-4255-bfae-dce84cc4bcc0-768x576.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2203-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2203-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2203-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2203-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2203-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2203-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2206-1200x900.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2206-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2206-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2206-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2206-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.schs.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_2206-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Left) Principal Linda Lee exchanging gifts with Ms Yang Meiling, Principal of Kang Chiao International School (Hsinchu campus)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(Right)Principal Yang, Principal Linda Lee and Mike Lam with Ms Helen Lin, Deputy Coordinator (extreme left), Ms Jennifer, Director (2nd from left) and Ray Harpster(extreme right) Deputy Director, all from the International Department.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This visit offered invaluable insights into Taiwan\u2019s flexible and diverse educational system, and revealed significant interest among Taiwanese parents in overseas education \u2014 particularly in English-speaking environments.
