Alphaville American School (Est. 1989)
Location: Taipei, Taiwan

Alphaville American School is a long-established early childhood and elementary program known for offering an American-style learning environment rather than a cram school or traditional ESL language center. Students learn English through immersion, interaction, creative projects, literacy activities, and real communication—not vocabulary drilling or worksheet-driven ESL instruction.

Our students are native Chinese speakers and are not expected to have prior English exposure. Teachers are encouraged to teach fully in English and support comprehension through modeling, visuals, hands-on activities, and classroom scaffolding. We value strong teacher–student relationships and a joyful classroom culture that supports both children and teachers.

Why Taiwan Appeals to Many Foreign Teachers
Taiwan consistently ranks highly for:
• Safety and healthcare
• Cost of living relative to salary
• Work–life balance (especially compared to East Asia neighbors)
• Friendly culture and approachable local communities
• Ease of travel within Asia

Teachers often describe Taiwan as one of the easiest countries for newcomers to adapt to within Asia.

While we cannot provide relocation packages, our team can help new teachers with:
• ARC / Visa guidance
• Housing suggestions and neighborhood insights
• Local onboarding tips ( banking, SIM cards, transport, clinics )
