Morrison Academy is an international Christian school in Taiwan. It was established in 1952 to meet the educational needs of children of missionaries. From its earliest days, this missionary school has welcomed the children of other expatriates on a space available basis. 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. Morrison Academy is an MK 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. 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. Morrison Academy is recognized by Taiwan, as an international school, and is restricted from accepting nationals who do not hold a foreign passport. The majority of the students, approximately 70%, are citizens of the United States. The remainder come from 32 other countries. Morrison Academy is legally recognized as Morrison Christian Association. It is a nonprofit corporation, registered in the state of New Jersey and in the province of Taiwan.
