About Mingdao International Department

In 2014, the MDID functioned as an IB school to prepare its facilities, leadership and the entire stakeholder community of faculty, students and parents to seek authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organization in hope to officially deliver the Middle Years Programme (MYP) in Grades 7-10 and the Diploma Programme (DP) for students in Grades 11 and 12.

Since 2018, MDID has been authorized to offer MYP & DP as its official academic curriculum. And now in 2024, MDID is also the ONLY international school that offers Career-related Programme (CP) in Taichung and southern Taiwan.

About Mingdao International Department

To provide students with more options for future overseas study, Mingdao initiated a prestigious Global Citizenship Program (GCP) in 2007. Later in 2012, the GCP program grew drastically, and we established our very own department - Mingdao International Department (MDID). In pursuit of Mingdao’s mission to provide quality academic programs, the MDID was requested to initiate research into the adoption of the International Baccalaureate academic curriculum as a means of linking the MDID academic program to a world class educational institution with a consistent methodology for delivering quality instruction. As of 2014, the MDID has functioned as an IB candidate school as it prepares its facilities, leadership and the entire stakeholder community of faculty, students and parents to seek authorization from the International Baccalaureate Organization to officially deliver the Middle Years Program in Grades 7-10 and the Diploma Programme for students in Grades 11 and 12.
