Im going to Taiwan for my junior year through Rotary. I will be the second student ever to go there through Rotary and im really excited. I was wondering what kinds of classes a high school in Taiwan would have. Also, any other useful information would be really helpful!

About the same as the American system has; but in Mandarin. Some writing classes; some science classes; some math classes; some indoctrination to worshipping Confucious and claiming that Sun Yat Sen had great ideas for China and you should forget about being Taiwanese because you got invaded and owned 60 years ago and shut up and get in line, cut your hair and wear your uniform for the jobs that were in demand 40 years ago type classes. You know, the usual bollocks and lies every nation state tries to spoon feed you and make you into a nice, compliant sheep. Edit: sorry about the raging. It isn't that bad. You caught me on a grouchy day. High School in Taiwan tends to be tedium interspersed with periods of study and terror. But 99% of it is tedium.

Congratulations on your being selected for such an honorable appointment! Classes cover most of the same subjects you would encounter in the USA. Instruction will be exclusively in Mandarin Chinese. I hope you can read and write in the language. The workload is likely to be greater than you are used to; there will be lots of reading and memorization, followed by many tests. Advice: Use your English skills to assist those who are struggling in English, in exchange for them assisting you in the subject in which they excel. The bright side is... many are going to want to be close to you as a friend.
