The Kaohsiung Municipal Gushan Elementary School’s kindergarten has become known as a mini United Nations because so many of its students are international. The neighboring National Sun Yat-sen University draws many graduate students from overseas who bring their families with them to Kaohsiung, making the area more diverse. Their children are quick to pick up Chinese, and some have even mastered Taigi.

Young kids play a game outside with their teacher, enjoying the sunny weather. This is an especially diverse class of young students.

This little girl named Fafa is from Indonesia. She just moved to Taiwan this year, but already speaks Chinese well. Her friend, Sherlyn from India, even speaks Taigi.

There are 24 students in this class at Kaohsiung Municipal Gushan Elementary School’s kindergarten. Nine of them are international, hailing from five different countries.

Lots of international students come to National Sun Yat-sen University to do research, and their families come with them. They have young kids, so they chose to send them to Gushan Elementary, which is close by.

My father is so many days come again, I come here, with my mommy.

As their parents put down roots here, these kids are growing up in Kaohsiung. They’re lucky to be part of a diverse school community.

Wei Li-ting
Kindergarten teacher
When they first came to the school they really couldn’t speak or understand anything. But children communicate with each other through body language. It’s easy for them to bond and they’re all good friends.

This time I want to thank the teacher for taking care of our kid because they are not just an educator, they are also a second parent to our kid.

This kindergarten class is like a mini United Nations, with kids from different cultures bonding and becoming friends.
