  Milestones

To begin with, the establishment of TBDS is a reciprocal measure to counter the problems of schooling and family issues of the Taiwan businessmen’s families. On the one hand, TBDS is a public-service oriented school, established by the joint efforts of many unnamed volunteers and individuals; on the other hand, it is a genuine, modern institution founded on the spirits of science and culture. Students of TBDS are taught and disciplined with assiduity and studiousness, multi-cultural influences and perspectives, and arts and athletics, allowing them to reach their fullest potentials in this flat and conglomerated 21st century.

In 1995, Taiwan Businessmen's Dongguan  Association formed The Educational Enterprise Committee. Under the leadership of the second and the third appointed president, Ye Hong-deng, a group of individuals and volunteers worked together to make the establishment of TBDS a possibility, making TBDS the first school to be recognized by the governments on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This is a monumental milestone in the education history of the cross-strait relationship. Currently TBDS has student body of over 1750 students and we will continue to provide a distinguished education for students in the years to come.
     TBDS total occupying area is 143,925 square meters, including the main Technology Building, Primary Education Building, Secondary Education Building, Cafeteria Building, Primary Student Dormitories (A~D), Secondary Student/Teacher Dormitory, Teacher Dormitory, Chinese Culture Hall, Library, English Library, Computer Rooms, Laboratories, 400 Meter PU Track, Life Camp, Indoor heated pool, Basketball Courts, Indoor Badminton Courts, Workout Room, etc.
