The Hsinchu American School has just received a full six-year re-accreditation term from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). As a result, HAS became the only international school in Hsinchu with a fully accredited grades 1-12 program. This exciting news provides our students and parents with the certainty that their education at HAS will be accepted worldwide.

We would like to thank everyone who was involved in this lengthy yet rewarding process.
