The Taipei European School (traditional Chinese: 台北歐洲學校; simplified Chinese: 台北欧洲学校; pinyin: Táiběi Ōuzhōu Xuéxiào) is a pan-European international school in Shilin District, Taipei. It includes a British primary section, a British secondary section, a German section, and a French section.
Taipei European School is registered as a legal entity in the form of a non-profit foundation supervised by the Department of Education within the Taipei City Government.
The Taipei European School (TES) has attracted regional and worldwide attention with its unique model for integrating German, British, French, and High School sections in terms of their curricula, administration, finance, buildings and facilities. The Taipei British School (TBS), École Française de Taipei (EFT) and Deutsche Schule Taipei (DST) began around 1990 in response to the needs of expatriate families with young children living in Taipei. The schools soon realised that there was much to be gained by joining forces to establish a combined European campus. This would allow the schools to share facilities and resources but still teach their own respective national curricula.
The school has a total enrolment of 1500 students from over 50 countries. Taipei European School is authorised by the International Baccalaureate Organisation to deliver the Diploma programme, and is classed as an IB World School. TES is also a member of FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) and affiliated to AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger) and BVA-ZfA (Bundesverwaltungsamt-Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen).
