In 2002, Adventist College Preparatory Center (ACPC) was founded by Robert Christensen with the purpose of providing part-time English-language tutoring for high school students and college-placement assistance for students interested in attending English-speaking universities.
Throughout the following years, the student population increased and, in 2005, the English-language training was eventually integrated into an American curriculum high school offering regular and Advanced Placement courses.
In the fall of 2005, ACPC changed its name to Taipei Adventist Preparatory Academy or more commonly known as TAPA.
The Taipei Adventist Preparatory Academy continued to grow throughout the years until in 2012, it reached over 150 students representing twenty plus nationalities.
The Primacy Collegiate Academy follows the American educational system designated for private schools.
