From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An Kang Senior High School, founded in 1980, is located in Xindian District, the southern part of New Taipei City, Taiwan. Covering a campus of about 2.795 hectares, this school is a general senior high school with both junior high and preschool departments.

Originally, the school only established the junior high department. Due to the declining fertility rate, the scale of the junior high department decreased gradually.[citation needed] Recently,[when?] the junior high department consists around 20 classes. High school enrollment began in 1998 and had 4 regular classes at the earliest stage. Then, specialized athletics and special education classes were steadily added to the high school department. Beginning from 2014, each grade will recruit 11 classes. In three years, the school will develop into a medium-sized senior high school of 33 classes in total.[speculation?] The pre-school department was founded in 1999 and recruits 1 class.[citation needed]
