School founder Allan Liang sought to address the lack of international educational opportunity amongst New Taipei City residents and began coordination with the Ministry of Education and the New Taipei City Bureau of Education. In November 2014 the school was granted a founding license and approval to move forward on planning the construction of New Taipei City’s first international American curriculum school: Asia American International Academy (AAIA).

AAIA seeks to prepare students for post-secondary overseas studies. The school will offer career guidance to this end and provide a complete internal mechanism to assist students in successfully completing the application process for first-class universities in the United States of America and Canada.

AAIA firmly believes and practices the idea that the best teachers inspire students to discover the teacher within in order to maximize higher-order learning across all disciplines. Evidence of our pedagogical philosophy is found within our daily instruction, curriculum maps, and cocurricular program where students are consistently motivated, engaged, challenged, and assessed at all levels on Bloom’s Taxonomy in inquiry-based, independent and cooperative learning environments. As Benjamin Franklin said, “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.” By diligently striving to discover answers, create solutions, and formulate new questions, you will develop confidence, intelligence, and awareness. Our passionate and experienced teachers will then challenge and motivate our students to use their newly acquired gifts of knowledge and skills to better themselves, the community, and the world at large.
