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).

Today's throwback is to celebrate the successful conclusion of Exploration Week for Middle School. The true magic of Exploration Week comes to life through the student passion projects. Each project represents the culmination of weeks of dedication, creativity, and hands-on learning. This year, we saw an exciting range of outcomes—from interactive apps and environmental designs to review films, robotics innovations, and original music compositions. The diversity and ingenuity of these student-led projects highlight the power of curiosity and the limitless potential of young minds. A huge thank you to the educators, guest experts, families, and of course, the students, for making this year's Exploration Week an unforgettable experience. Your dedication to learning, collaboration, and innovation continues to inspire all of us to think big, dream boldly, and explore beyond the ordinary. #SchoolLife #ExplorationWeek #LifeLongLearners #kisj #kisjeju #kisjcommunity #kisjejucampus #kis제주 #internationalschool #gec #KISJDragons #koreainternationalschooljejucampus #tbt

KISJ strives to provide meaningful, dynamic, and enriching learning opportunities for students. 🌍✨ This vision comes to life in Middle School through our exciting Experiential Learning program, including Exploration Week. 𝗘𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗪𝗲𝗲𝗸 empowers students to explore their passions, build connections with peers, and engage in hands-on, real-world experiences. From developing Passion Projects to attending inspiring guest lectures and participating in immersive field trips, this week is all about igniting curiosity, meeting extraordinary individuals, and making a positive impact. The week began with an inspiring lecture by KISJ teacher Mr. Michael Lee, who shared his incredible experiences as a researcher for Arizona State University and Citizen Science FjordPhyto during an expedition to Antarctica. Following this, students had the opportunity to engage with a diverse lineup of professionals, including musicians, videographers, dancers, chefs, the assistant vice president of CommonSpirit Health, and many more. Subsequently, a series of workshops will feature a diverse range of professionals, including vignette creation, ocean conservation initiatives, journaling, power of persuasion and more. Additionally, two students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) are on campus actively contributing by conducting workshops on Chemistry and climatology with middle school students as well as working one on one with students to support their passion projects. Together, these professionals, educators, and students are collaborating to inspire and empower KISJ learners with their knowledge and expertise throughout these two weeks.🚀🎒🎉 #BackToSchool #DRAGONS #KISJExplorationWeek #ExperientialLearning #SchoolLife #kisj #kisjeju #kisjcommunity #kisjejucampus #kis제주 #internationalschool #gec #koreainternationalschooljejucampus 📚✨
