Taipei Kuei Shan School (TKSS), fully accredited by the Taipei City Government Department of Education in the Republic of China, was established in August 1963 as a small private K-9 school and intended to be an experiment in Taiwan Education. The founder, Professor Hsiong Hui-Ying, believed that the large class size of 50 students was the root cause of many educational issues such as learning difficulties and misbehaviors. Thus, Taipei Kuei Shan School was conceived as a research project to investigate this hypothesis based on the possible benefits that could be gained from significantly reduced class sizes. “The experiment design could be better. The test time could be longer. Although there are many shortcomings, with a strong desire and much effort, I’ve conducted a revolution-like attempt to the traditional teaching methods….” Taipei Kuei Shan School recognizes each child will grow into an individual made in the image of God.

Inspiring students to impact the world inspiring students to reach their greatest promise.
