Five-year Junior Colleges

These are schools that one enters after completing junior high schools (ninth year of education) and enters it for five years, essentially serving as your three high school years along with the first two years or tertiary education. One gains entry through participation in a national exam.

Secondary education

Senior High Schools

Senior High Schools are the next level of education for students who have completed their mandatory nine years of primary and lower secondary education. Admittance is based on performance in a national standardized examination that is administered annually. These schools are typically college preparatory, and graduates are expected to go on to pursue a four-year university education.

In Taichung, some of the most prestigious senior high schools include Taichung First Senior High School (established in 1915), Taichung Girls' Senior High School (founded in 1919), and Taichung Second Senior High School (established in 1922). Taichung First Senior High School is an all-boys school with a small number of female students admitted to special programs. Taichung Girl's Senior High School is the top-ranked girls' school in the city. Taichung Second Senior High School is also considered a highly reputable school and now accepts both boys and girls.

Wen Hua Municipal Senior High School is a relatively new school, but its modern campus and equipment have led it to become increasingly popular among students and parents.

In general, public high schools in Taichung are considered more desirable due to their lower tuition and greater resources. However, there are also several excellent private high schools in the city. Some of these schools also offer vocational programs as well as junior high school education.
