Our Story

The Chinese Parents Monthly Group (CPMG) was established in 1990 as a community initiative within Taipei American School. What began as informal gatherings of Chinese-speaking parents has grown into a structured organization dedicated to fostering connections and providing support.

Over the years, CPMG has evolved to address the unique challenges faced by parents navigating the intersection of different cultural expectations and educational systems. Our community brings together diverse experiences and perspectives, united by a common goal: to enhance our children's educational journey and family well-being.

Today, CPMG serves as an essential bridge between parents, educators, and experts, facilitating meaningful exchanges and creating opportunities for personal and collective growth.
