Korean language classes are offered across elementary, middle, and high school divisions. Heritage Korean students (from Korean-speaking families) and other advanced Korean learners are supported within these classes. The ReadingOcean online reading program is used across divisions to provide level-appropriate Korean books, with about 200 students benefiting. An English language learner (ELL) program provides targeted support for non-native English speakers, with admissions assessments and periodic placement; learning-support services are also available for math and reading.
Yongsan International School of Seoul (YISS) is a K–12 school in Yongsan-gu, on Itaewon-ro and the school describes its campus as being in the heart of Seoul. YISS follows a U.S. educational model and its high school offers Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Families choose between two student programs, which are the NICS Christian program (with Bible class/chapel) or the Oasis program (character education/philosophy and weekly assembly). The school provides student support services, including a Student Learning Support program that includes help for students acquiring English as an additional language. For daily logistics, YISS offers bus transportation and states it operates a fleet of 20 buses, with average rides of 25–30 minutes. In early August, kindergarten families take part in the school’s “Boo Hoo Breakfast” tradition.
