Spiritual Life

As the Christian Ministry Coordinator at Seoul Foreign School, I want to welcome you to the SFS family. I have been a part of SFS since 1988 when I came as an 8th grader, graduated from here in 1993, and came back to teach math in 1999. I have been in this role now since 2005. Having seen this school from so many sides I must say that it is truly a very special place.

Seoul Foreign School, founded in 1912 by missionaries to Korea, has grown into a premier international college-preparatory school all the while holding to its Christian roots, philosophy, and ethos. In particular, it is committed to education within a caring Christian environment and consistent with the highest Christian values. The school provides programs designed to give an understanding of the Christian faith, both through a study of Bible and consideration of historical and contemporary understandings of Christianity. Through personal example and through certain extra-curricular activities, the school aims to encourage students to make the truths of the Christian faith a matter of personal commitment.

Some of the most exciting things I found as a student here were the many opportunities for growth in my faith. Today, the plethora of opportunities continues. There are non-threatening, ecumenical, after school ministry programs for students in all four divisions. I do hope that you look around this site and explore how your son or daughter can get involved Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to get involved! Again, welcome to the SFS family!

Blessings,
Amos Lyso
