This study analyzes and compares the educational goals of different high schools. All of the investigated educational goals were announced in 2016 and were from a total of 346 schools, consisting of senior high schools, 6-year high schools, comprehensive high schools, and 6-year-comprehensive high schools. Through qualitative analysis, this study identified 2,816 statements of educational goals that were then classified into 17 subcategories. The subcategories obtained were subsequently organized into 6 categories: self-construction, exploratory learning, moral development, literacy cultivation, society participation, and occupational training. Moreover, the 2,816 statements were further analyzed using SPSS for windows 21.0 to obtain a frequency distribution and the chi-square test. The findings of this study indicated that various high-school educational goals play a crucial role in the holistic education of high schools. The self-construction category was emphasized in high-school educational goals, whereas the occupational training category was the least commonly referenced educational goal. Furthermore, the self-construction category was prevalent in the educational goals of high schools from different backgrounds.
