High School Exchange in Taiwan (15-18 years old)

When Portuguese sailors first arrived in Taiwan in 1590, they named it “Ilha Formosa”—the “Beautiful Island”—inspired by its lush, mountainous terrain. Today, Taiwan still lives up to that name with its stunning natural beauty, historic temples, and modern cities.

Study Abroad in Taiwan offers a rare chance to experience the peaceful countryside and the fast-paced, high-tech capital of Taipei. Ancient temples serve as both places of worship and social gathering spots. Taiwan’s main religions—Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism—blend together in a philosophy focused on harmony with nature and the balance of yin and yang.

No Language Requirement! You’ll learn Mandarin naturally through school, home life, and daily interaction. Whether you’re a beginner or have some experience, living in Taiwan will improve your language skills quickly.

    • You Can Go from Mountains to the Beach in One Day
      Taiwan is a small island, but it’s packed with natural beauty—lush forests, hot springs, towering mountains, and beautiful coastlines. Adventure is always close by.

    • They Celebrate a Lantern Festival with a Sky Full of Wishes
      During the annual Pingxi Lantern Festival, thousands of glowing lanterns float into the sky with people’s hopes and dreams written on them. You can experience it yourself in Spring – it’s magical!

Respect for teachers, classmates, and school rules is an important part of life in a Taiwanese high school. Students often wear uniforms and help with classroom chores, creating a strong sense of community and school pride.

As an ASSE exchange student, you’ll experience family life with a Taiwanese host family, enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, and celebrate local holidays. From riding scooters and visiting temples to trying hot pot, fresh fruit, and bubble tea, every day is a new cultural adventure. You’ll return more independent, globally aware, and full of unforgettable memories.
