🏫 Tiny chairs and long hallways. YISS parents traded places at their kids’ desks during the divisional Open Houses, hunting down the right classroom just like their children do every day. Smiling teachers greeted them along the way, eager to share more about what a student’s day looks like at YISS. Turns out walking in their kids’ shoes offers a whole new perspective. This is what real partnership looks like.

🇰🇷 Each year on August 15, Korea observes Gwangbokjeol (광복절), National Liberation Day. It’s a time to remember the nation’s history and reflect on the significance of freedom and independence.

As an international school privileged to call Seoul home, we recognize the importance of this national holiday and what this day means for our host country and the Korean community.

We handed two seniors disposable cameras, and what we got back was a total vibe. ✨

Senior Symposium was equal parts fun and reflection: games and laughs with friends, then built in moments to sit down and actually think through what’s ending and what could be next. Thanks to our guidance counselors, seniors left with more than a good photo roll. They left with a little more sure-footing for the year ahead.

Starting the school year always comes with questions: Who’s my teacher? When is lunch? Where’s my locker? We’ve all been there.

New Student Orientation answers those questions. Teachers sat down with new families to talk through the year ahead, while student ambassadors walked new students through campus. With the start of the school year tomorrow, it’s helpful to start in community.
