Admissions

Admissions
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
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.
