At present, Taiwanese parents may homeschool their children from 1st through 9th grade on the condition that their lesson plans are approved by the local official Homeschool Committee before each school year starts.

Pre-school children and youth past 9th grade are not required to attend school in Taiwan.

The Homeschool Committee usually reviews the student’s progress at the end of each semester. The Committee’s subsequent progress report may determine whether or not the student will be allowed to receive home education the following year.

Depending on the city or county of residency, homeschooled students may or may not be required to attend school for classes and/or tests.

Local schools maintain records of homeschool students in their respective jurisdictions and grant them diplomas just as they do for regular students.

Children who hold foreign passports and have not established permanent residency in Taiwan may be homeschooled free from any governmental regulations. However, these students will not receive any diploma.

Compulsory attendance law: Children in grades 1-9.
