In 2014, I had been teaching at the university for ten years and deeply felt that our children in Taiwan spend all their time and energy preparing for exams. Many of them may only realize after entering university that the chosen school or department is not what they like or want. Yet, due to various reasons, they dare not transfer to another school or department, wasting their lives in endless regret and indecisive hesitation.
If we want to change Taiwan's education today, we must truly start to implement our ideals, beginning from the elementary and middle school stages, to show Taiwanese society and parents that our children can spend their time not just on preparing for exams but also possess the capabilities to face the ever-changing future.
2015年,一群非常熱血、都是當時一時之選的老師們,共同創辦了無界塾,這是台北市第一家橫跨小學、國中、高中,獲得立案許可的實驗教育機構。我們希望在無界塾實踐以能力為本、以學習者為中心(By The Students)的教育理想,不讓台灣的孩子在填鴨知識中,失去對學習的熱情和對世界的好奇心。
在實驗教育的路上,無界塾的教學制度、引導孩子自主學習的模式,都不斷演進。透過強調探索、思辨、和社會接軌的課程與塾內外活動,我們的孩子可以好好發展自己的各項軟實力,並找到自己最有興趣、有天份的方向。每個都是令人驚艷的孩子!
I also hope that through the innovative teaching done by the BTS team, teachers within the system who share our vision have support and no longer need to worry about pressure or complaints from superiors or parents who do not understand. BTS has now entered its ninth year, continuously cultivating a new generation of teachers in various fields who are passionate, thoughtful, and capable about education. We will connect with more teachers both within and outside the system to collectively advance education in Taiwan.

Dedicated to unlocking potential and realizing competency-based, differentiated teaching, our teachers help children discover their interests, build confidence, empathize with others, and break through their limits
We hope that every child, upon leaving BTS, possesses the abilities to think independently, learn autonomously, work in teams, and proactively solve problems, becoming a kind, altruistic, and influential person!

Kainan Vocational High School located
in the center of Taipei City as
the main campus.

No. 15, Xuzhou Rd., Zhongzheng Dist.,
Taipei City (opposite to the Emergency Department of National Taiwan University Hospital). It is located between Exit 2 of MRT NTU Hospital Station and Exit 3
of MRT Shandao Temple Station.
BTS operates on a three-semester
system per academic year.
The first semester runs from
September to November.

BTS follows an institutional self-learning model. If your child is enrolled at BTS, there is no need to prepare an individual self-learning plan by yourself; we will collectively apply to the Department of Education, Taipei City Government on behalf of all students.
