Morrison Academy () is an international Christian school founded 1952 in Taichung, Taiwan. It primarily caters to the children of missionaries. 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.

Morrison Academy was named after Robert Morrison, the first Protestant missionary to China.

The school states that it teaches from a "Christian perspective" and uses an "American-based" curriculum. The medium of instruction is English.

Curriculum

Morrison Academy's approach to education integrates "Biblical truth with educational knowledge". The academy teaches a Bible curriculum; other subject areas, including science and social studies, are taught to be used from a Christian perspective.

Morrison Academy teaches Earth Science, Life Science, Physical Science, and Engineering and Design in elementary middle school. 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." 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."

Views on marriage

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.

Sports

Morrison Academy's sports teams compete in the Asian Christian Schools Conference in basketball, in the Far East High School Girls Division II Volleyball Tournament which they won in 2011 and 2012, and in the TAS Tigersharks Invitational Swim.
