Our People
We know from research that the teacher is the most important in-school factor that affects student learning. Many other factors matter as well – curriculum, facilities, leadership, resources – but every day it is our teachers that engage our students in the rich and diverse learning that is at the core of our identity at KAS.
We are fortunate to have some of the best teachers in the world at KAS. Roughly 70% hold Master’s or other advanced degrees, 12 are trained as members for WASC and/or IB evaluation teams, and 27 hold certifications in IB and/or AP.
Our teachers teach in an environment with hard-working and talented students, caring and supportive parents, a future-minded Governing Board, and a world-renowned curriculum. When you put these elements together, it’s no surprise that our graduates go on to accomplish great things. KAS is an American school in Taiwan that positions students for global success and our faculty is a driving force behind that effort.
