At PAS Admissions, we are excited to meet with parents who want to make a difference in their children’s education. We’d love to tell you more about our education philosophy and invite you to visit our campus. PAS has produced many outstanding alums in the fields of engineering, banking, biomed, biotech, design, architecture, music, political science, culinary arts, marketing communications, consulting, business, hospitality and beyond. We are always thrilled to host their return visit to speak with and inspire the aspiring college-bound juniors and seniors.
If you have filled out an application and would like to schedule an individual appointment for a school visit, please fill out the online appointment request.
At PAS, admissions decisions are based on a review of each candidate’s demonstrated academic achievement, developmental, social, and behavioral background as well as English language proficiency. Alignment in values and expectations between family and school is also considered.
A completed application does not equate automatic placement. Priority consideration is given to U.S. or second passport holders and those with stronger academic English proficiency. PAS also base its admissions decisions on the balance of English language learners to that of native English speakers to maintain its core quality as an all-English speaking international school.
Interviews are an integral part of the application review process. That said, an interview is not a guarantee of admission.
In addition, students applying to Pacific American School must meet the following eligibility criteria.
While PAS prefers students with some to adequate understanding of English, our admissions committee will make that determination upon meeting with the candidate. Non-native English-speaking candidates may be given an additional English test to determine if ESL support is required. If admitted and such support is found to be necessary, additional fees will apply.
Please note: A late payment penalty of 2% will be assessed on any school fee payment that is overdue.
Enrollment after classes begin If a student enrolls within the first four calendar weeks of any semester, all fees must be paid in full. If a student enrolls after the first four calendar weeks of any semester, the tuition, ESL fee, boarding fee and lunch fee will be calculated based on the number of weeks a student will attend; all other required fees must be paid in full.
Refund Policy If a student withdraws voluntarily or is withdrawn during the first four (4) weeks of either semester, 50% of the student’s tuition and boarding fee (if applicable) will be refunded. No refund will be granted for students who withdraw after the fourth week of the semester.

A campus visit, parent/student interview and/or entrance test would follow should the admissions team approve the candidate’s application upon evaluation.
Depending on the number of students interested in a particular language, we have traditionally offered French & Spanish as additional languages for those who wish to pursue foreign language(s).
PAS admits students who can meet grade level expectations. All decisions regarding admissions for students with special needs are made on a case-by-case basis as there may or may not be adequate and available resources to support students who, due to severe disabilities (i.e. learning, physical, and/or behavioral), require additional staffing, curricular or assessment customization.
Parents of special needs children must disclose any such needs when applying. Failure to completely disclose special needs and intervention documentation during the application process may result in the reversal of any admissions offer made without previous knowledge of a child’s situation.
PAS students are consistently accepted by the top 50 universities in the U.S., Canada and U.K. as well as prestigious specialty colleges. We announce a full list of the tertiary education institutions that PAS graduates matriculated at for the current year on our website.
The class capacity is kept small at PAS to ensure the highest quality of individual attention to the student. From K-2nd grade, the students are led by their respective grade’s homeroom teachers but are also exposed to other teachers on a range of subjects. From 3rd grade onward, the students attend classes by way of the subjects they choose. While the core subjects remain the same for elementary and middle school students, the students’ choices of special interest subjects such as robotics and art that the students may differ. As such, there is no set capacity for each grade. PAS is mindful of the capacity and always ensures adequate teaching resources to meet the students enrolled.
PAS offers door-to-door school bus service anywhere within the Hsinchu and Zhubei City area, including a pick-up stop at the Hshinchu HSR for those commuting from other cities.
Students do not wear uniforms at PAS. Dress code is sensibly casual. Students are discouraged from wearing luxury high fashion, flip flops and/or garments that overly expose the thighs, hip and chest. They are otherwise free to express their personal sartorial tastes.
Yes, PAS provides a buffet-style lunch on school days. Our food menu is diverse and nutritious. Of course, students may opt in or out of this arrangement. For those opting out of the school lunch program, these students may bring their own lunches or have it delivered by a parent/guardian. Ordering online food delivery is not allowed at PAS.
Yes, we have a boarding program for high school students. Our dormitory is on-site. Alternatively, many students opt for a rental apartment as there are a wide range of quality residential buildings that offer rental units in close vicinity of the campus.
Many students sign up for MUN (Model United Nations), debate team, Robotic VEX team, PAS orchestra or the rock band club. There is also a myriad of other athletics teams.
As an international school, PAS welcomes applications from any candidate with a non-Taiwan passport. Beyond the foreign passport requirement, PAS admits students solely on merit.
