ACADEMICS
We are a community of learners who strive to create an emotionally safe and engaging environment while delivering high-quality English language instruction with an American standards-based curriculum.
We’re now eleven years into our experiment and incredibly proud of the outcome.
The Elementary School is a learning community that encourages students to work together, develop compassion, and to actively contribute. Our students are empowered to work and support each other through play and academics, while maintaining positive behavior. Learning within an international community, our students also build the social skills and relationships that are necessary in an ever-changing world.
Middle school is the ideal opportunity for young adolescents to explore who they are and how they fit into the world. Through the iterative process, students will come to an understanding of who they are as learners, what they’re passionate about and ultimately how they will contribute to a better tomorrow
Synergetic collaboration and creativity are hallmarks of our High School. Transformative thinking and the ability to thrive in challenging circumstances will distinguish KISJ graduates.
Our dorm staff truly love working with students and are committed to building a community where everyone feels happy, safe, and included. It’s important to us that dorm students have opportunities throughout the year to acquire new interests and skills, pursue their passions, and connect with people from different cultural backgrounds. Life is great in the dorms
KISJ has a team of dedicated ELL specialists who collaborate with other teachers to co-plan, co-teach, co-assess, and co-reflect in order to support the needs of our language learners across all domains of language (listening, speaking, reading, and writing).

✨ 𝐁𝐮𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 ✨ KISJ High School Advisory is a dedicated time when our teachers meet with small groups of students to foster positive relationships and help them grow academically, personally, and socially. 🌟 Every Tuesday, advisors take the time to check in 1-on-1 with each student in their class. These moments are all about building strong connections, encouraging self-reflection, and guiding students toward success in school, career, and life. 🚀 “A regular check-in is essential for the student's well-being as the student may be going through difficult times and all they need is someone simply asking "How is your day going? How are you?" During 1:1 check-ins with the advisor, I can be honest with myself, and the trust I have for the advisor allows me to be more transparent.” - G11 I.K. Together, we’re creating a supportive environment where every student feels heard, valued, and inspired to achieve their full potential! 💪🎓 #StudentSuccess #HSAdvisory #BuildingConnections #AcademicGrowth #PersonalDevelopment #CollegeAndCareerReady #SupportiveCommunity #KISJ #FutureLeaders #ProudMoment #kisjDRAGONS #kisj #kisjeju #kisjcommunity #kisjejucampus #kis제주 #internationalschool #gec #koreainternationalschooljejucampus

🇰🇷 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗚𝘄𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗯𝗼𝗸𝗷𝗲𝗼𝗹🇰🇷 August 15th marks a powerful chapter in Korea's history—National Liberation Day. It’s a day to celebrate the triumph of hope, courage, and the unyielding spirit of a nation that reclaimed its freedom. At KISJ, we honor this legacy by fostering a community rooted in respect, understanding, and a shared commitment to progress. Our Middle School students are stepping into this important history with hands-on activities that bring the day to life. Upon arrival, students proudly wear Taegeukgi badges—a symbol of national pride they’ll continue to wear on all future Korean holidays. In Korean social studies, students dive into the significance of Liberation Day, drawing the Taegeukgi, and writing heartfelt essays that reflect the meaning of freedom. Essays will be showcased on the first floor for the MS Building and will depict students’ thoughtful reflections. And to keep the spirit of unity alive, house teams will earn points for wearing their badges on national holidays! Let's take this moment not just to look back with gratitude, but also to look forward with determination—continuing to build bridges of friendship and global cooperation. Here's to the past that shaped us and the future we are building together! 🌍✨ #Gwangbokjeol #NationalLiberationDay #KoreanPride #KISJCommunity #ReflectAndRise #GlobalCitizenship #DRAGONS #kisj #kisjeju #kisjcommunity #kisjejucampus #kis제주 #internationalschool #gec #koreainternationalschooljejucampus
