Schools in Taipei primarily teach in Taiwanese, but there are a good number of international schools that will teach classes in English. By law, international schools are prohibited from accepting Taiwanese students who do not hold a second passport, giving importance to those expat students looking to study in the country. However, these international schools are on the more expensive side when it comes to tuition fees.
International schools, as well as the local schools, in Taipei begin the academic year in August or September. The year consists of two semesters, the first ends with a break for the Chinese New Year celebrations, and the second semester ends for the summer holidays.
It is compulsory for children to attend nine years of school - six years of elementary school and three years of high school.
