The Taipei European School (Chinese: 臺北歐洲學校; pinyin: Táiběi Ōuzhōu Xuéxiào) is a European international school in the Shilin District of Taipei, Taiwan. It includes a British section, a German section, and a French section.[1]

Taipei European School (TES) is registered as a legal entity in the form of a nonprofit foundation supervised by the Department of Education within the Taipei City Government.

TES integrates its German, British, and French sections in terms of their curricula, administration, finance, buildings and facilities.[citation needed] The Taipei British School (TBS), École Française de Taipei (EFT) and Deutsche Schule Taipei (DST) were established around 1990 to serve expatriate families with young children living in Taipei. Shortly afterwards, the schools joined together to establish a combined European campus, in which the schools share facilities and resources but teach their own respective national curricula.[citation needed]

The school has an enrollment of more than 1800 students[when?] from around 57 countries. TES is authorized by the International Baccalaureate Organization to run the Diploma and Middle Years program, and is classed as an IB World School. TES is also a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) and affiliated to Agence pour l'Enseignement Français à l'Étranger (AEFE) and Bundesverwaltungsamt-Zentralstelle für das Auslandsschulwesen (BVA-ZfA).
