## Key points

- Taiwanese families say Arizona high school classes feel easier than those in Taiwan.
- Parents worry students may not be prepared for university.
- TSMC’s expansion has brought thousands of engineers’ families to Arizona.

## Summary

Taiwanese families who moved to Arizona for jobs at TSMC say their children’s high school classes feel much easier than those in Taiwan, leaving parents concerned they may not be ready for university. The issue matters because many families moved in the hope their children could attend US universities and build a future in the country.

Students described maths and science as particularly easy, even while adapting to English, while parents cited limited homework and early finishes on some Fridays. TSMC’s Arizona expansion has drawn thousands of Taiwanese engineers and relatives; one local high school has enrolled about 90 Asian students since 2021, and Arizona ranks 45th nationally for pre-kindergarten to Year 12 education.
