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 fourteen 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).

In celebration of International Women's Day, KISJ held a 𝘏𝘢𝘦𝘯𝘺𝘦𝘰 𝘚𝘵𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘳 during a school assembly. A local Haenyeo shared her personal experiences with our students, offering insight into the powerful and independent community of Jeju female divers. Recognized as a 𝗨𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗖𝗢 Intangible Cultural Heritage, Haenyeo are known for their remarkable skill in harvesting shellfish from up to 10 meters below the ocean’s surface—without the use of oxygen masks. KISJ fosters Engaged Students as part of our school-wide Learning Outcomes. This event not only celebrated the extraordinary endurance and talent of the Haenyeo, but also provided students with diverse perspectives and a deeper understanding of the local community. A big thank you to our students C. Oh, J. Kim, and S. Moon, from the HS Library's School Library Advisory Board (SLAB), who worked alongside their librarians to organize this event. In addition, a special thanks to C. Kang for her thoughtful and impactful introduction of our Haenyeo speaker, and to H. Bae and J. Yoon for their invaluable help in translating the event for our English-speaking students. Lastly, we are deeply grateful to our 𝗵𝐚𝐞𝐧𝐲𝐞𝐨 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫, 𝐌𝐬. 𝐇𝐲𝐮𝐧 𝐀𝐧𝐲𝐞𝐨𝐥 (현안열), for sharing her rich knowledge of Haenyeo culture with our high school students!
