Secondary education

[edit]

Senior High Schools

[edit]

Senior High Schools are the next level of education for students who have completed their mandatory nine years of primary and lower secondary education. Admittance is based on performance in a national standardized examination that is administered annually. These schools are typically college preparatory, and graduates are expected to go on to pursue a four-year university education.

In Taichung, some of the most prestigious senior high schools include Taichung First Senior High School (established in 1915), Taichung Girls' Senior High School (founded in 1919), and Taichung Second Senior High School (established in 1922). Taichung First Senior High School is an all-boys school with a small number of female students admitted to special programs. Taichung Second Senior High School now accepts both boys and girls.

In general, public high schools in Taichung are considered more desirable due to their lower tuition and greater resources. However, there are also several excellent private high schools in the city. Some of these schools also offer vocational programs as well as junior high school education.
