National Experimental High School At Science Based Industrial Park (NEHS), situated near the Hsinchu Science Park, is a public, coeducational school (pre-primary-12). Founded in August 1983, the school was proposed by the founder of the Science Park Kwoh-Ting Li. NEHS is administered by the Ministry of Education, National Science Council and Science Park Administration . Aside from the "Advanced Math and Science Class" of the Senior High School department, the school only admits children of employees of private enterprises in the Science Park, government organizations, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, National Chiao Tung University, and National Tsing Hua University.
Departments
The school is composed of five departments: four "regular" departments (Kindergarten, Elementary, Junior High and Senior High School) and one Bilingual department.
The four regular departments facilitate a local Mandarin education and adopt the Taiwan (ROC) national curriculum. The Senior High School Department is regarded as one of the most prestigious senior high schools in the nation with the highest admission scores in the Hsinchu-Miaoli area.
The Bilingual Department (with grades 1-12) serves students in the English-speaking community who seek an American college-preparatory education or plan to transfer to the local school system. Students come from business, professional, government, and diplomatic families. In the past, 47% of Bilingual Department parents had PhD's. The Bilingual Department currently has an enrollment of over 600 students. It is also known as the International Bilingual School at Hsinchu Science Park (IBSH).
The department was operated as a magnet program to attract overseas scholars and professionals to stay in the Hsinchu "Greater Science Park Area" by providing special education opportunities to their children.
The Kindergarten Department
The department contains twelve teachers and two grades, the elder grade for children older than five and the younger grade for children older than four. Each grade is divided in to three classes with thirty children maximum.
The Elementary Department
The Elementary Department has its own building and includes the first grade to sixth grade, with seven classes each. There are also eight classes of special education. There are always events and activities going on in the department; one that demonstrates the education of self-governing is the annual "Little Mayor Election," which sixth graders are eligible for running in.
The Junior High and Senior High Department
The Junior High and Senior High students reside in the same building, sharing common classrooms, equipment, and teacher offices. There are five classes in each of the three grades in Junior High Department and four each in the Senior High Department, one of the four being the Mathematical and Science Talent class (數理資優班). A fifth class, the Science class (科學班), was introduced during the 2009-2010 school year. Each class has less than forty students. The uniform comes in summer and winter suites, where that of Junior High Department consists of cream-colored shirts(short sleeves/long sleeves) and navy shorts/pants (guys) or maroon pleated skirts/navy pants (girls). The uniform of Senior High Department consists of pink shirts, maroon ties, and navy pants for boys and navy pleated skirts/navy pants for girls. There is a Student Association in the Senior High Department responsible for department-wide events such as proms and sport competitions.
The Bilingual Department
International Bilingual School at the Hsinchu-Science-Park (IBSH), situated in Taiwan's "Silicon Valley," the high-tech Science-based Industrial Park, is a public, coeducational school (1st-12th grade). The Bilingual Department serves students in the English-speaking community who either seek an American college-preparatory education or plan to transfer to the local school system. Students come from business, professional, government and diplomatic families. Forty-one percent of the International Bilingual School parents have Ph.D's. IBSH had a total enrollment of 601 students and a graduating class of 51 students during the 2008-2009 school year.
IBSH is accredited by the Republic of China Ministry of Education and is administered by both the Ministry of Education and the National Science Council. The International Bilingual school is operated as a magnet program and has also achieved candidacy for accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) since June 2008.
The academic program at IBSH is rigorous, and students face demanding instructors and a fully bilingual (English and Mandarin) curriculum. IBSH operates on a semester system with a 200-day school year, beginning in late August and ending in late June. There are prerequisites for all AP classes with the exception of AP Social Studies courses, which are open to all interested students. Students are required to study Chinese, which is taught by native speakers. The intensive Chinese program uses textbooks identical to those used in local Taiwanese schools.
The extracurricular activities at IBSH are diverse; a wide range of activities are available for student participation. Student government, Key Club, InterAct, Basketball, Swimming, Soccer, Cheerleading, Breakdancing, Taekwondo, and Hip Hop are some of the student organizations present at IBSH. Multiple events are hosted for the IBSH students throughout the year by the student council and other clubs. School-wide events such as the NEHS Field Day and the School Anniversary also involve substantial student participation.
