Dear members of the Hsinchu American School community, 

 

I am honored to extend a warm welcome to each and every one of you as we enter a new school year at Hsinchu American School (HAS). With great enthusiasm, we anticipate the remarkable opportunities that lie ahead and the chance to support the holistic development of every individual within our community. 

 

HAS is proud to be a locally licensed school that holds accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). This prestigious accreditation process encompasses our entire institution, motivating us to continually evaluate our goals and evolve as an educational establishment. Through this ongoing review process, we remain steadfast in our commitment to the growth and well-being of our students, nurturing their academic achievements and personal growth. 

 

At HAS, we take immense pride in providing a distinctive educational experience that delivers exceptional instruction from passionate educators hailing from diverse corners of the globe. With a small student-to-teacher ratio, we foster an environment where students can thrive in a tight-knit community. Our dedicated teachers are committed to facilitating the academic growth of each individual student, placing them at the center of the classroom experience. 

 

We extend our deepest gratitude to all those who contribute to our school community, working hand in hand with us on this collective journey. As we set forth into a new year, we are filled with excitement and an overwhelming sense of pride in being part of the HAS Wolves. 

 

Thank you for being an integral part of our vibrant school community, and we eagerly anticipate an extraordinary year together. 

 

Warm regards, 

​
