Morrison Academy Taichung offers kindergarten through twelfth grade (K-12). The high school serves grades 9–12 and offers Advanced Placement courses. The school operates on a roughly 180‑day academic year.

The school is co-educational and offers both day attendance and boarding for high school students from outside Taichung. Boarding facilities are available at the Taichung campus for eligible high school students.

A Learning Difficulties (LD) support program is available, operating under an Individual Learning Plan (ILP). The program provides targeted skills development and can incur an extra fee.

Morrison Academy is recognized by Taiwan as an international school and is restricted to students who hold foreign passports.

The school is a Christian international school with Bible study and Biblically-integrated curricula as a core component.

The school year consists of about 180 instructional days. Taichung typically runs 8:45 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. from Monday to Thursday, with Friday ending at 3:15 p.m. Music classes begin at 7:50 a.m. before the day starts, and lunch periods last about 35–40 minutes. The high school schedule features 80‑minute periods on alternating days (odd periods on Mon/Wed, even periods on Tue/Thu).

There is no Morrison-provided bus service for the Taichung campus. Bus service is available at Morrison campuses in Taipei and Kaohsiung, but not Taichung.

Morrison Academy Taichung delivers a K–12 Christian international program taught in English, with high-school AP courses and online options to augment the on-campus curriculum. In Middle School (Grades 6–8), the school follows a United States–based framework with core subjects in Social Studies, Language Arts, Mathematics, and Bible; Grade 6 covers World History from Creation through the 1500s, Grade 7 focuses on World Geography, and Grade 8 covers U.S. History. Bible study is integrated across middle school, with Grade 6 New Testament Survey, Grade 7 Wisdom from Proverbs, and Grade 8 Old Testament Survey. In High School (Grades 9–12), about eight AP courses are offered on campus (with additional online courses available), alongside a broad schedule of electives and extracurriculars; more than 95% of graduates pursue higher education, typically at universities in the United States and Canada. Course sequencing for college admission aligns with U.S. college-preparatory expectations (English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, and Visual/Performing Arts), and the program supports experiential learning through trips and service opportunities.

1. Eligibility and initial requirements. To enroll at Morrison Academy Taichung, the student must hold a valid foreign passport (not a ROC passport) and meet policies on English proficiency and special needs. Non-English-speaking applicants will be considered under the English Language Learner (ELL) framework if applicable. Hong Kong/Macau passport holders have specific regulatory considerations; parents should verify how these rules apply to their situation. All applicants are evaluated with these baseline criteria in mind.

2. Online application submission window and initial document gathering. Applications may be submitted any time after November 1 for the following school year, but it is best to have the file ready by the end of March. In addition to the online form, you must provide passport copies for the child and parents (where applicable) and two years of school records translated into English. The admissions system will tell you what additional documents are needed, and the application file becomes active only after all required items are submitted.

3. Admissions coordinator contact and campus visit. After submission, the campus-based admissions coordinator will reach out via email. If the student meets the admissions requirements, the coordinator will guide you through the next steps and can arrange a visit to the Taichung campus if desired. Meetings with the principal are typically scheduled after the admissions interview, and you won't meet the child's teacher until admission is confirmed.

4. Testing and interviews. Testing and interviews occur only when there is an opening at a given grade level. English proficiency testing is required for students coming from non-English-speaking schools or those homeschooled, and may be waived for students succeeding in all-English environments. Every applicant and family is interviewed by a member of the Admissions Committee, and virtual interviews can be arranged for applicants outside Taiwan.

5. Admission decision timeline. The school informs applicants of the decision within three working days of the interview. If the applicant is offered admission, the next steps will be outlined by the Admissions Coordinator and the family.

6. Enrollment and tuition/fee payment timelines. For the spring admissions cycle, there is a deadline around mid-May to pay tuition and fees for returning students; new admissions will follow the same general timeline. The school uses a common admission workflow across campuses, and the exact payment dates are provided by the campus during the acceptance process.

Scholarships and financial aid are available through Morrison Academy's funding programs. The Robert Morrison Scholarship Fund assists families in Taiwan who are committed to Christ's Great Commission and whose children could not otherwise attend Morrison Academy; scholarships are funded entirely by designated gifts and are awarded based on the availability of funds. This program is designed to help eligible families access Morrison's programs when financial constraints would otherwise prevent attendance.

The school does not operate a traditional waiting list (first-come, first-served).
