竹科校長及雙語部家長會雙方都大力給予協助與分享經驗.
目前竹科雙語部開有AP課多年(目前17門)，有多元社團。
因應WASC，課程精進，評鑑，前年開始每年舉辦Taiwan Educators Association (TEA)，有100多人參加，包括IBST教師。
另成立Corel Reef Student Ambassadors，舉辦Hsin MUN等。
加入WASC要先有common course standards，選擇適合的教材，有行為指標，2013年舉辦TEA，就課綱邀請該領域講師。
現在G1~G12有common assessments，curriculum maps。另有Student support team (SST)，採用MAP (measures of academic progress)，一年可測驗4次，可找廠商來說明。舉辦校友回娘家活動，與學弟妹分享。counselors會與家長各自談，其待遇高，難請，要留住人。另採technology support learning，運用網路學習。在家長支援方面，有WASC leadership members兩位，每年有career day，Fund raising募職員、教師出國、進修，冷氣等經費。
雙語部與普通部跨部融合，同時間上下課，讓學生有同窗之誼，資源共享，課程對開，讓高中部英文程度好的學生來雙語部上課。
IBST 家長聯誼會會長及多位家長代表提出相關問題也多有所回應，對未來IBST的努力方向有更明確的想法。

IBSH offers many (17) AP courses. To meet the requirements of WASC, the common course standards were established and the courses and teachers were evaluated. Taiwan Educators Association (TEA) was held since 2012 to provide professional development to teachers in which IBST teachers also attended. Experienced speakers were invited from the US to offer such training. Common assessments and curriculum maps are offered to G1 to G12. Alumni were invited back to share experience and give advice to current students. Counselors are important and expensive. They talk with individual parents about their children’s situations. Fund raising is done annually to supplement school budget, for hiring administrative staff, teacher training, air conditioners in classrooms, student activities, etc. Cross-department courses and activities are offered to students of different departments.
Time: 1/17/2014 2:30pm~3:10pm Place: IBSH PTA Office

The IBSH PTA’s operation just follows the 30-year tradition, in which the parents participate in the school’s activities and donate money. The parents are requested to contribute help to her/his chosen service jobs. At the school year beginning, the school will propose the fund needed (about NT$1.3 million) with items mentioned above. The PTA will raise the money from all parents proportionally based on the number of students. For example, they have almost 600 students. Each student parent is about to donate $2,000. In addition to that, a student parent needs to pay the $1,000 membership fee per year. The fee is collected almost completely from all parents. The PTA has an office in which parents gather from time to time and know each other well.
