National Chiayi Senior Commercial Vocational School

Brief History of the School

     Founded on April 1, 1938, the school was first named Tainan State Chiayi Commercial School. In 1945 the Republic of China's government took control of the school and changed its name to Taiwan Provincial Chiayi Commercial Vocational School. In 1968, the school went through big changes, ending the junior high division and starting a specialized commercial high school program. It included Comprehensive Business, Accounting Statistics, Clerical Affairs, and Advertising Design. The school continued to grow, and in 1987 and 1988, it created the Department of Continuing Education and the Department of International Trade. In 1999, another change happened when the school introduced the Department of Data Processing, replacing the Clerical Affairs Department. The year 2000 brought another name change; the school became known as National Chiayi Senior Commercial Vocational School (CYVS), operating under the Ministry of Education. In 2006, the Department of Comprehensive High School (CHS) was created, replacing the Accounting and Statistics Department. The Department of Applied English was set up in 2013. Finally, in 2019, the CHS was supplanted by a new General Department.
