Mr. Joseph Chu, and his wife, Ms. Karen Hess, established Hess Educational Organization in 1983. Over the past 25 years, we have grown from Karen and Joe’s original 60 students to over 60,000 students in our various programs. Such remarkable success and growth has allowed us to become the largest private English Educational Organization in Taiwan today.

This continuing growth in student and school numbers is accompanied by the development of Hess Cultural Organization and Hess Charitable Associations. The future of Hess is very bright. Our invaluable role as an educational institute in the Taiwanese community is constantly expanding. We have stepped out onto the global stage with a Hess Education Centre in Singapore, Hess Education Canada in Vancouver, Hess Education Australia in Melbourne and Hess Education International in Shanghai as just the beginning of our international aspirations.

Success aside, what really makes this organization special is its people. Our schools, bookstores and offices employ a dynamic staff from Taiwan and around the world. Hess Educational Organizations' mission is to perpetually create educational opportunities to improve the capability and well being of the people of Hess.
