Grades 6-8

The Middle school grades are designed to prepare students for success in the high school university preparatory or Advanced Placement Program.

In conjunction with our advising program, curriculum and instruction design will be articulated to make entrance into Advanced Placement programs more accessible to students. Based on the College Board premise that all students have the right to an advanced placement program, Hsinchu American School is putting that belief into practice. We encourage students to sit the PSAT exam at the end of their middle school program.
