Dharma Master Cheng Yen, the founder of Tzu Chi University, says, “Education is the work of purifying human hearts and minds. If carried out well, education is a source of hope, as well as a stabilizing force in society.

Tzu Chi has four missions: Charity, Medicine, Education, and Culture. It is the wish of all Tzu Chi members to carry out charitable work around the world, make medical care widely available, provide comprehensive education, and promote humanitarian culture. To carry out its ideals for a humanistic education, Tzu Chi first established the College of Nursing (which developed into Tzu Chi College of Technology) and later the Tzu Chi College of Medicine (which developed into Tzu Chi University). Because Tzu Chi believes that education needs to start from young, so that children can set down good roots from a young age, Tzu Chi future established a primary and secondary school.

On July 11, 1999, Tzu Chi’s primary and secondary schools held their groundbreaking ceremony together. Despite the great trials from the Taiwan Quake on September 21, 1999, the Tzu Chi Elementary School and Tzu Chi Senior High School still achieved their goal of opening in September of 2000, thereby completing Tzu Chi’s Complete Education System, providing education from kindergarten up to graduate school.

Objectives of the school:
1. Complete character education: building moral integrity and inspire a sense of conscience, inner goodness, correct views and understanding.
2. Comprehensive education: emphasis on both skill sets and character; instilling the concept that one succeeds by helping others succeed.
3. Daily living education: built through discipline with love and the formation of precepts as rules.
4. Humanistic education: nurturing the spirit of love characterized by loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity; instilling the virtues of sincerity, integrity, trustworthiness, and honesty.
5. Broad outlook education: nurturing broad vision and outlook that engenders the commitment to purifying the hearts of humanity and building a peaceful society.

Dharma Master Cheng Yen said, “Elementary education should build up a solid foundation regarding students’ basic living habits. Secondary education should guide students to recognize the proper direction in life. Tertiary education should teach students to understand their responsibilities and life mission.” Thus, Tzu Chi Senior High School not only stresses the development of knowledge and skills, but also the education of daily living and humanities. We strive to nurture healthy and happy students who have a firm basis in ethics and character.
