Prestigious High School at Dana Cup
Taichung Municipal First High School is one of the country’s most prestigious and recognised schools. As a matter of fact, Taichung is the third largest city in Taiwan with 2.7 million inhabitants. The admission requirements for the school are extremely high, and therefore only about one percent of the applicants are accepted. A large part of the students, who leave the school after graduation, attend some of Taiwan’s most famous universities, plus many choose to study abroad, for instance, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Stanford University, and University of California, Berkeley.
In addition, many of the students are selected to represent Taiwan at international science and math competitions like the International Mathematics Olympiad, the International Geography Olympiad, the International Physics Olympiad, the International Biology Olympiad, the Intel Science Fair, the International Chemistry Olympia and the International Earth Science Olympiad.
