Thank you for your interest in teaching at Seoul Foreign School. SFS is a highly regarded, co-educational day school with a distinct Christian philosophy that has been serving expatriates in Seoul since 1912. We are located in a park-like atmosphere in the middle of the bustling city of Seoul, South Korea and we currently serve nearly 1500 students in pre-k through grade 12.

We offer rigorous academic programs, including IB and AP courses at our high school, an American curriculum at both the elementary and middle school levels and a British curriculum for KS1-KS3. Our professional faculty numbers more than 150 with over 100 local support staff.

The school offers on-campus accommodation and an excellent salary & benefits package that allows for significant savings. It is very difficult to compare costs of living because this is rather dependent upon each person's style of life. However, teachers at SFS generally find that they can live quite comfortably on our salary and many put a considerable sum into savings each year.

If you are interested in applying for a position at SFS, I encourage you to review the opportunities listed under Positions Available. You might also like to review the information under New Teacher Info that describes international schools and the unique Christian aspect of our school. When you are ready to formally apply to our school you may visit the section titled Application Forms. Click on the 'online application' link there and you will be presented with a blank form that is fairly easy to complete. Completing this application puts your data, including your resume, into our database and allows our administrators to identify qualified candidates for future openings at the school. Once our administrators find a match for you and SFS, they will be in touch with you regarding the possibilities.

I am responsible for processing teacher applications for the school, assisting newly hired staff with their transition to SFS, and with the orientation process once they arrive. Once you have completed the online application I will review your file and respond to you regarding your application to SFS. I look forward to working with you on this new adventure.

If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Barry Benger
Director of Human Resources
