National Experimental High School At Hsinchu Science Park, situated near the Hsinchu Science Park in Taiwan, is a public, coeducational school. Founded in August 1983, the school was proposed by the founder of the Science Park Kwoh-Ting Li. NEHS is administered by the Ministry of Education, National Science Council and the Science Park Administration. With the exception of the rigorous "Advanced Math and Science Class" of the Senior High School department, NEHS only admits children of employees of private enterprises in the Science Park, government organizations, the Industrial Technology Research Institute, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University, and National Tsing Hua University. In 2009, the school adjusted qualification and number of enrollment in response to the national decline of birth rate and the Great Recession, which impacted the employment status of parents working in the Science Park.

The International Bilingual School at Hsinchu-Science-Park, formerly known as Bilingual Department of National Experimental High School At Science Based Industrial Park, is near the Hsinchu Science Park. It is part of a public, coeducational school, National Experimental High School. Founded in August 1983, the school was proposed by the founder of the Science Park Kwoh-Ting Li and administered by Ministry of Education, National Science Council and administration of the Park. Originally IBSH was formed to attract high-tech talent and technologies to move to Hsinchu Science park, but the Ministry of Education would not allow the creation of a school based solely for overseas workers. Thus, NEHS was created to satisfy the conditions set by the Ministry of Education. IBSH only admits children of employees of private enterprises in the Park, government organizations, Industrial Technology Research Institute, National Chiao Tung University and National Tsing Hua University.
The Bilingual Department of NEHS changed its name before the 2008–2009 school year after a visit from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges in the spring of 2008. In summer 2011, IBSH was granted WASC accreditation. It attempts to serves students in the English-speaking community who seek an American college-preparatory education or plan to transfer into the local school system.
However, the name was met with controversy from locals, who wanted the station name to reflect local culture. The name was changed to Xinzhuang in January 2013.
