History
Taiwan Adventist International School is a boarding school operated in North Asia-Pacific Division of Seventh-day Adventists to fill the need of its constituents, missionaries' kids, and local, Taiwanese who are looking for Adventist education at the junior high and high school level. It was established in 2008 by the Adventist Educational Holdings Company to serve the whole of its constituents, and named Taiwan Adventist International School. It opened in August 2008 with eleven (11) teachers and has since grown to 24 faculty and staff. The first 12th grade graduation was in 2010.
TAIS is located on a beautiful 50-hectare (123 acre) campus surrounded by the breathtaking mountains of central Taiwan. It also boasts convenient access to beautiful Sun Moon Lake as well as the bustling town of Puli.

Outside the classrooms there is year-round spiritually oriented programming that relies on student involvement.
