We are an American school, teaching all subjects in English and following a standard American curriculum and schedule. Our school year is from August through May. We have between 110 and 120 students each year and they are outstanding. Most are not Christian so we have a dynamic witnessing opportunity in everything we do. We are in need to an English teacher for multiple sections freshman English and American Literature. A full teaching load at TAPA is considered 5 of 9 class periods per day. One more class may be needed to meet the full time load. Possibilities are music appreciation, personal finance, choir, or an upper level language class (reading, writing or grammar). We currently have a base pay scale of 550,000NT with a current exchange rate of 31NT to 1 US dollar. Pay increases with SDA and state certifications, prior teaching experience, advanced degreees, and endorsements.

The housing allowance is for 15,000NT per month if seeking other living arrangements or for someone married and the spouse is not working. We provide a round trip flight for the employee to their declared home destination for each year of service. Dependent spouses are provided travel to Taiwan and home after 2 years but do not receive regular summer travel. Related visa expenses are reimbursed upon arrival. Taiwan has national healthcare and all employees and dependents are covered with a small deduction each month. We take all the normal American holidays (thanksgiving, christmas, spring break) plus national holiday long weekends and a week off for Chinese New Year. Teachers are off the months of June and July. We are seeking someone willing to commit to two years of service.
