Private Nanshan Senior High School (Chinese: 南山中學), often referred to as NSSH, is a school in Zhonghe District, New Taipei City. The current school principal is Mr Tsai Ming-cheng (蔡銘城).
The school badge of NSSH is a stylised version of the ancient rendition of the Chinese word 山, meaning mountain. The three triangles symbolise the Chinese belief of a cyclic interaction between the sky, mankind and earth (天、地、人), and also represent the school's hope to instill in students the ideal of oneness between nature and man (民胞物與、天人合一) derived from traditional Chinese thought.
In 1941, Nanshan was established at No. 112, Fu-Hsin Central Road, Shanghai as the Cheng-Te Vocational School. Following the celebration of China's victory in WWII and president Chiang Kai-shek's 60th birthday, the school was then renamed "Nanshan Private Business School" in 1946. 1946 is considered NSSH's year of establishment as this was the year when the Nanshan name was given to the school. When the Chinese Nationalist government retreated to Taiwan in 1949 as a result of its defeat in the Chinese Civil War, the school suspended all lessons.
Eight years later, in 1957, the school reopened as "Private Nanshan Industrial Vocational School" at its current location on Guangfu Road. Accepting both junior and senior high school students, about 250 students enrolled that year. Major faculties in the school included electrical engineering, civil engineering and textile engineering.
The business management faculty was established in 1961 and the school was renamed "Private Nanshan Business Vocational School". Later, in 1968, the school suspended its junior high section because of a change in government policy. The school's basketball team, the Nanshan Leopards, was established the year after.
The school was renamed "Private Nanshan Business Vocational High School" in 1971. In 1976, the arts faculty was established. Then, the establishment of the information technology faculty in 1987 was swiftly followed by that of the advertisement design department in 1988.
The arts faculty started taking in new students again in 1989 after a short one-year hiatus. However, the advertisement design, business management and international trade management faculties all stopped taking in new students that year. At the same time, the early childhood education and beauty faculties were established. 1989 also saw the establishment of the Nanshan kindergarten.
