About Taiwan
Located 160km (100 miles) from Mainland China, and 580km (360 miles) northeast of Hong Kong, Taiwan straddles the Tropic of Cancer in the Pacific Ocean. Taiwan is the island home of 23 million people of mainly Han Chinese descent. Around 20,000 Westerners also live and work throughout Taiwan.
Taiwan is a thriving mosaic of ancient tradition, culture and high-tech development, a merging of Eastern and Western influences. In this fusion of the modern and the traditional, street markets sell fresh produce and vials of Chinese herbal remedies next to modern shopping malls and 24-hour supermarkets. Western-style bars and clubs share neighborhoods with traditional Chinese tea houses. Inland from the big cities, towns, rural villages and rice paddies are nestled below the majestic peaks of the central mountain range. Taiwan is exciting, convenient, interesting and affordable.

About Hess
Hess operates schools throughout Taiwan. Most schools are located in the big cities – Taipei, Kaohsiung, Taichung, Hsinchu and Taoyuan – and schools in smaller centers are available for the needs of a “culture vulture” or “Mandarin master”. Each school is a friendly, independent team of foreign teachers, local teachers and staff, where everyone can play a part in providing excellent education to Taiwan’s students.
Hess also has bookstores, an award-winning educational research department and publishing company, an in-house training department, the Hess Educational Charity Foundation and a school in Singapore.
