Our People

Our dedicated teachers engage our students as active learners and inspire them to reach their full potential in and out the classroom.

We know from research that the teacher is the most important in-school factor that affects student learning. Many other factors matter as well – supportive parents, future-minded leadership, a world-renowned curriculum, and state-of-the-art facilities – but every day it is our experienced teachers that engage students in the rich and diverse learning that is at the core of the Kaohsiung American School experience.

In addition to our classroom teachers, our faculty and staff includes four administrators, counselors, inclusion Coordinators/Literacy Specialists, a robust IT department, teaching assistants, facilities team, and library department, among numerous others that help create a collaborative and caring culture of excellence at KAS.
