Parent Experience

Community, involvement and what it's like to be a parent at this school

History

Primacy Collegiate Academy traces its roots to 2002, when it began as Adventist College Preparatory Center (ACPC) founded to provide part-time English-language tutoring and college-placement assistance for high school students. By 2005, the English-language training was integrated into an American curriculum high school, and the academy graduated its first high school class that year. In the fall of 2005, ACPC was renamed Taipei Adventist Preparatory Academy (TAPA) as the program expanded. The school continued to grow over the years, reaching more than 150 students from over twenty nationalities by 2012, and in 2013 it rebranded as The Primacy Collegiate Academy to reflect a 21st-century learning community.
