Welcome From the Head of School

Welcome to the Seoul Foreign School web site. I'm pleased that you sought us out and want to encourage you to use this site to explore the breadth of programs and opportunities available to students at Seoul Foreign School. You'll find that our 1500 students come from more than 50 different countries around the world. We offer a rigorously academic program that ensures even the most able student is challenged intellectually, and nearly 100% of our graduates continue their education at the university level, many at the most prestigious universities in the world. Social and spiritual growth are important in the formation of the “whole child” approach to education we offer at SFS, and many opportunities are provided for all students to encourage their healthy development in these crucial aspects of life. We have a spectacular physical facility, purpose-designed to enhance student learning, so I encourage you to take a look at the photos of our 25-acre campus conveniently located near the heart of Seoul.

Founded in 1912, Seoul Foreign School is among the oldest international schools in the world. Our reputation for excellence is not based simply on our longevity, successful alumni nor even our fine facilities. The reality of excellence is built upon daily by our committed and gifted teachers who so significantly and positively impact the lives of students, our comprehensive and challenging academic programs, the Christian ethos that infuses our school community, and our extensive extracurricular opportunities. Seoul Foreign School continues to enrich the lives of students, challenging them to reach their highest potential in all aspects of life.

I hope that as you explore the Seoul Foreign School web site you will find answers to your questions. If the answers aren't found on this site, please contact us directly. We know that timely and effective communication is critical as parents make career decisions which significantly impact the lives of their children. We are eager to assist.

Enjoy your visit to Seoul Foreign School. Thank you for dropping by.

Sincerely,

Dr. Nancy Price
Interim Head of School, 08-09
