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 1,300 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 FOBISSEA (Federation of British International Schools in South East Asia) and affiliated to AEFE (Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger), and BVA-ZfA (Bundesverwaltungsamt-Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen).

Famous quotes containing the words european and/or school:
“It has become necessary to call the attention of European governments to a fact which is apparently so insignificant that the governments seem not to notice it. The fact is this: an entire people is being annihilated. Where? In Europe. Are there witnesses? One witness, the entire world. Do the governments see it? No.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
“... the school should be an appendage of the family state, and modeled on its primary principle, which is, to train the ignorant and weak by self-sacrificing labor and love; and to bestow the most on the weakest, the most undeveloped, and the most sinful.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
