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).

Elementary Spring Arts Day 2025 KISJ celebrated a fantastic day of creativity, performance, and community at this year’s Elementary Spring Arts Day! Our young artists and musicians proudly shared their talents, filling the campus with music, color, and joy. Musical performances took place throughout the day, featuring students from JK to Grade 5. Each grade brought something special to the stage—from joyful singing to engaging instrumental pieces. Grades 1 and 2 played patterns with the unpitched percussion instruments and the xylophones, Grade 3 performed on the recorder, Grade 4 strummed lively tunes on the ukulele, and Grade 5 showcased their skills through band, choir, and strings. Huge thanks to our dedicated music team—Ms. Eve, Ms. Mangat, and Mr. Kyle—for guiding our students and making these performances shine. The Art Gallery Walk invited families to explore creative work from our Art, Korean, and Design Tech classes. From vibrant paintings and thoughtful cultural projects to inventive design solutions, the gallery highlighted the diverse creativity of our students. This beautiful exhibit was led by Ms. Ashley and Ms. Ivany, with the wonderful support of Ms. Menchie. Families also enjoyed a hands-on Design Tech challenge and captured fun moments at the photo booth—rounding out a day full of imagination, collaboration, and celebration. Thank you to our students, teachers, and families for making Spring Arts Day 2025 such a meaningful and joyful event! #KISJArtsDay #SpringArts2025 #KISJCommunity #StudentCreativity #ElementaryArts #ArtAndMusicMatters #kisjeju #kisjcommunity #kisjejucampus #kis제주 #internationalschool #gec #KISJDRAGONS
