Morrison Academy

What Morrison Academy does

Morrison Academy is a private, not-for-profit K-12 international Christian school system operating in Taiwan. It was established in 1952 and currently runs three main campuses in Taipei, Taichung (headquarters, 216 Si Ping Road), and Kaohsiung, plus a satellite campus in Chiayi. Instruction is delivered in English using an American college-preparatory curriculum with biblical integration across subjects. The school is jointly accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and is affiliated with East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS), Asian Christian Schools International, and the Taiwan International Schools Sports Association (TISSA).

The academy offers Elementary (K-5), Middle (Grades 6-8), and High School (Grades 9-12, requiring 24 credits for graduation) programs, alongside English Language Learners (ELL) support, a Learning Needs (special education accommodations) program, Online Learning with crisis-continuity design, a Homeschooling Program support track, boarding/dormitory services for high-schoolers, and extracurricular athletics and arts. Its core technology stack is PowerSchool (student information system), Mastery Connect, Google Workspaces, and biometric campus security. Online learning capacity is positioned explicitly as a contingency measure against epidemics, political instability, or military action affecting Taiwan.

The business model is a tuition-driven subscription: families pay recurring per-student annual tuition plus auxiliary fees for ELL, Learning Needs, boarding, and other specialized services. Long-Term Financial Aid grants are available subject to capacity constraints (when enrollment is below 70% of maximum class size). Admission priority is missionary families first, Christian worker families second, and general families third — formalized through three priority tiers. The school is governed and owned by the Morrison Christian Association, a New Jersey not-for-profit incorporated in 1964 and sponsored by four member missionary organizations: One Mission Society, The Evangelical Alliance Mission, WorldVenture, and the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. In Taiwan it operates as the Taiwan Provincial Morrison Christian Association Juridical Person. Revenue is supplemented by donations through an Annual Fund and Donor support channel. Pricing is not publicly disclosed.
