This high school was originally established in Tainan in 1948. It relocated to Kaohsiung in 1950, and by 1956, it had moved to its permanent campus on Sanduo Road.
In 1965, the school expanded with the founding of the International Business College, a junior college that operated until 1990. During its peak years, it was regarded as a prominent private institution in Kaohsiung, producing a large number of notable alumni.
However, due to a series of corruption scandals and faculty disputes, the government eventually ordered its shutdown.
Although the school continued to offer vocational programs for several years, it ultimately closed its doors for good in 2022.
Following its closure, part of the land was sold to Sun Yat-Sen University in Kaohsiung, which plans to establish a medical university on the site. Demolition of the old campus began in April 2025.
In part one, I focused on the cool murals. In this post, I’ll take you inside the school and around the campus.
Here are some of the better-looking classrooms. Many classrooms were empty or nearly empty.
Most of the classrooms looked like this, or worse.
There was a lot of random stuff lying around.
The trophy room. There wasn’t much left in here. I deleted a few pictures that I had on my phone before I moved them over to my computer. D’oh!
The library. There weren’t many books left over. There were also other physical media, such as CDs, DVDs, and VHS tapes. I took some pictures of the movies that were there, but it seems like I deleted them before I saved them to my computer. D’oh!
The music room.
Michael Jackson actually played a concert in Kaohsiung on October 20th, 1996.
Most of the outside hallways looked like this.
The heavy machinery has moved in.

From 2000 to 2003, my daughter was a student at Kaohsiung American School, which was located in an elementary school across the street from the commercial school. (It relocated to Tso-Ying in 2004). The young girls at the commercial school would watch the international kids from across the street and “wave their wig heads” at them. (I guess they were in the hairdressing class.) I remember an odd-looking spindly tower near the street on the west side of the commercial school’s campus.
