Morrison Academy Kaohsiung (MAK)
Morrison Academy Kaohsiung is an Accredited American International Christian School in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. It was established in 1974 to meet the educational needs of children of missionaries in Kaohsiung and Tainan. From its earliest days, this Christian school has welcomed the children of other expatriates on a space available basis in the Elementary, Middle School and High School.
An International American Christian School
Morrison Academy is a school system with three campuses. Two campuses, located in Kaohsiung and Taipei serve students through the ninth grade. Students who complete the ninth grade are able to continue their high school education on the Taichung Campus, where boarding facilities are provided for high schoolers from areas outside of Taichung. Currently, Morrison has one satellite school located in Chiayi for students through the sixth grade. Morrison also provides some services to missionaries in Taiwan who are home-schooling their children. Along with other international Christian schools, Morrison Academy is a member of the Asia Educational Resource Consortium, which provides services for families throughout Asia who have no access to an MK school, or are home-schooling or have their children in national schools.
Morrison Academy's mission statement
Morrison Academy exists to meet the educational needs of the children of missionaries throughout Taiwan, helping fulfill Christ's commission to go into all the world. Morrison seeks to provide a Christ-centered school culture where all students, from missionary and non-missionary families, experience a Biblically-integrated quality education. Therefore, Morrison structures learning so that students may develop the knowledge, discernment, and ability to dynamically impact their world as Christians.
A Christian International School
Because Morrison is a Christian international school, a Biblical worldview is integrated into all areas of the American based curriculum. Bible class is required for all students. Instruction is in English and is college preparatory in focus. Advanced Placement credit is available for select courses. The school year for students extends from mid-August to the first week of June, for a total of 180 instructional days.
The school is jointly accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The school's boarding program is also accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International.
