Dominican International School
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dominican International School (私立道明外僑學校), formerly Dominican School, is a private English speaking Catholic school located in Dazhi, Zhongshan District, Taipei City, Republic of China. Sisters of the Dominican Order run this school, from administration to teaching; most of them are nuns from the Philippines.
The school was founded in 1957 and served as a US Department of Defense contract school until the termination of diplomatic relations between the United States and the Republic of China in 1979. Dominican International School adopts a modified American kindergarten through twelve grade curriculum with courses in Christian Living.
The school is now entering its half century opening celebration. DIS's small size allows all students to interact closely to one another, making it a school filled with warmth and passion. However, DIS still needs improvement in its facilities and athletics programs. DIS is growing rapidly with the help of parents. DIS currently offers 2 Advance Placement courses.
