Morrison Academy ( Chinese: 馬禮遜學校; pinyin: Mǎlǐxùn Xuéxiào; Wade–Giles: Ma-li-hsün Hsüeh-hsiao) is an international Christian school founded 1952 in Taichung, Taiwan. It primarily caters to the children of missionaries. [1] Beyond the original Taichung location it also maintains a campus in Taipei and Morrison Academy Kaohsiung in Kaohsiung; other satellite campuses have existed in the past.
The school claims to teach from a "Christian perspective" and to use an "American-based" curriculum. The medium of instruction is English. [2]
Morrison Academy's approach to education integrates "Biblical truth with educational knowledge". [3] The academy teaches a Bible curriculum; [4] other subject areas, including science and social studies, are taught to be used from a Christian perspective. [5] [6]
Morrison Academy teaches Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, and Engineering and Design in elementary middle school. [7] In high school, the scope and sequence are Biology, Chemistry, Human Anatomy, Physical Science, Physics, AP Biology, and AP Chemistry. Morrison Academy has a "Biblical worldview." [7] [8] The school's science curriculum guide states that, "Morrison Academy insists that God made the universe... Science, as exemplified in the scientific method, is a process that enables all mankind to gain knowledge about creation, the laws that govern it, and the character of God." [7]
Morrison Academy actively promotes the biblical belief that marriage is "the uniting of one man and one woman in a single, exclusive union" as per Genesis 2:18-25 and that sexual intimacy is "only between a man and a woman who are married to each other" as per Matthew 19:4-6. Although Morrison Academy emphasizes marriage, divorce is not automatic grounds for job termination. [9] [10]
Morrison Academy's sports teams compete in the Asian Christian Schools Conference in basketball, [11] in the Far East High School Girls Division II Volleyball Tournament which they won in 2011 and 2012, [12] and in the TAS Tigersharks Invitational Swim. [13]
