Introduction

This school was founded by incorporating two schools during the
Japanese rule of Taiwan. One was the First Girls’Senior Middle
School of Tainan County established in 1917. The other was the
Second Girls’ Senior Middle School of Tainan County established
in 1921 and renamed the Provincial Tainan First Girls’ Middle
School after the restoration. In 1947, the school was renamed the
Provincial Tainan Girls’ Middle School. In August 1970, the school
was further renamed the Provincial Tainan Girls’ Senior High School,
and finally in February 2000, given its present name, “National
Tainan Girls’ Senior High School.” In 1971, A Complementary School
on the Air was added to the school but terminated in 1975. In 1984,
an Experimental Music Class was set up for musically gifted students,
including both boys and girls. In1987, an Experimental Math and Science
Class was set up for gifted students in these fields. In August 2003,
a Bilingual Resource Class was established for gifted students in the
related fields.Taken together, all these measures have made this school
an excellent preparatory school for college education.
Under the leadership of the principals hitherto, our faculty
and staff, in accordance with the Republic of China’s
educational purport, work out effective and ingenuous ways to
enhance the quality of teaching and cultivate a unique campus
culture of our own. For the past eighty years, this school has
been renowned for its refined and intellectual atmosphere on
campus and outstanding alumnae in all fields of society.
The percentage of our gradutes who pass the Joint Entrance
Examination has always been one of the highest in Taiwan. The
school authorities also put equal emphasis on language training,
science education, extracurricular activities and physical
education. Exposed to this lively milieu of learning, our
students have made quite a few remarkable achievements in
local, provincial, national or even international contests.
To meet the trend of globalization and computerization, our
teachers keep updating their professional knowledge and apply
the very latest teaching methods and aids to teaching. To help
students cope with the rapidly changing society, we instill new
ideas and concepts into them and encourage their independent
thinking and research. Liberal and moral education are
simultaneously emphasized to broaden their vision of the world
and enhance their standards of morality. With the efforts made
by all teachers and students, we believe this school will
continue its glorious tradition of cultivating the best students
and citizens in society as it has always been doing for the
past eighty years.
