At Morrison, we strive to provide the training and tools needed to fully utilize technology’s potential for learning. We also work intentionally to provide age adjusted levels of supervision and instruction to ensure these tools are used in appropriate and Christ honoring ways.

Students in grades K-5 are provided appropriate devices for school use with supervision.

In Middle School, students are assigned a school owned Chromebook which is to remain on campus.

In High school, students are expected to bring their own device that meets Morrison expectations for our learning environment.

The use of school-provided or students’ own electronic devices are carefully woven into the educational experience.

Yes. During COVID-19 closures, Morrison Taipei Academy continues classes using online learning platforms.

Because Morrison is a Christian international school, a Biblical worldview is integrated into all areas of the American based curriculum. Bible class and weekly chapel are required for all students.

Elementary and Middle School students complete Measures of Academic Process (MAP) testing 2-3 times per year. High School students take the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) in Grades 9-11. High School Students also have access to the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), the American College Test (ACT), and a diverse range of Advanced Placement (AP) exams.

The majority of Morrison Academy Taipei students perform within the top 20% of all students who take MAP tests. The majority of our high school students typically perform in the top 20% on the PSAT with more than half of those in Grade 11 scoring in the top 5%. Morrison Academy Taipei students consistently perform very well on SAT, ACT, and AP exams.

Yes. For Grade K-5, Homework should provide reinforcement of lessons learned in school. It should be limited in time and quantity, to encourage families to have time together. The main focus of homework should be reading.

For Middle School and High School, Homework is an instructional strategy and is best used as independent guided practice to inform learning. Homework focuses on: 1) practice of new learning and solidifying concepts and understandings, 2) Pre-reading of new material to be introduced in class, 3) Reading for knowledge and pleasure.

Different grades have different amounts and purposes of homework.

Testing and interviews.

Testing is standard for all students coming from non-English speaking schools or students who have been home schooled. The tests which are administered are designed to determine whether Morrison Academy can meet your child’s educational needs.

Following testing, interviews with the principal are scheduled if space remains available in your child’s class and the results of your child’s testing are positive.

Morrison does not have a waiting list in the sense of “first come, first served.” If no space is available at your child’s grade level during the spring admissions season, your application will be kept active until admissions are completed for the school year for which you applied (this is normally in January). If a space becomes available after the normal admissions season is over, Morrison considers all of the applicants for that grade level and you will be contacted if Morrison is interested in inviting you for an interview.

Applications can be submitted anytime after November 1 of the year preceding the school year for which you wish to apply. Applications can be submitted any time, but it is best to have your application on file before April 1, as most testing is done from March through May.

Students will be considered for admission at any time throughout the year if there is space available at their grade level. After the first quarter of school, classroom teachers will be consulted regarding the entrance of new students.

Morrison provides a safe and nurturing environment for elementary students to grow and mature. A solid academic foundation is combined with diverse experiences and opportunities guided by a caring community of teachers. This type of environment encourages our students to take risks, discover their passions, hunger for truth and desire to change.

Our middle school teachers use the best educational practices to provide students with the tools and training needed to become organized, independent, and creative learners. In the classroom, the power of technology, group work, creative instruction, and dynamic projects is harnessed to promote a high level of learning. We also strive to help students grow in their faith, make good life choices, and understand the importance of a biblical worldview.

“Actively engaged” describes Morrison high school students. Rigorous courses, leadership opportunities, sports, drama, worship team, mission trips, and class activities all provide opportunities for students to take the knowledge they’ve learned and apply it with ever-increasing wisdom.
