Location: Morrison Academy
Morrison Academy has three campuses across in Taiwan, in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung.
Taipei is Taiwan’s economic, political, and cultural centre. It is a modern cosmopolitan metropolis with a lively and diversified face, filled with exuberance. The cultural kaleidoscope of Taiwan’s capital city pulses wherever you go. Incense – veiled temples dating back to dynastic times blend seamlessly with a neon street life of a decidedly more modern era.
Taichung is Taiwan’s second largest city and boasts a highly developed industrial and commercial base, thriving cultural scene, friendly people, and beautiful scenery. Centrally located in the western half of Taiwan, Taichung welcomes visitors with a pleasant climate throughout the year.
Kaohsiung is located in the southern part of Taiwan and is the island’s largest industrial centre. Kaohsiung was the host city for the 2009 World Games. Due to the regulating effects of the marine climate, Kaohsiung is generally sunny and enjoys pleasant weather year-round. Known as “Taiwan’s Maritime Capital,” the city has worked hard in recent years to develop its tourism industry, including through beautification of the urban landscape.

I have been a school-level user of Schrole for recruiting for the last three hiring cycles and have found the platform they provide to be intuitive and comprehensive. The user interface stands out from others in the market as a crisp interface with the right level of features included at the right places. For me, the top two features are the ability to create school-specific application questions for applicants, and the availability of a short and long form applicant documentation PDF. If you’re looking for a recruiting platform, I highly recommend considering Schrole.
