A Warm Welcome

The International School of Koje is a unique school. Founded in the 1970’s, the school was originally built to educate the international families contracted for the shipbuilding industry in the small town of Okpo on the beautiful South Korean island of Geoje (Koje).

The International School of Koje is an inclusive, international, learning community for children from the age of 2 to 18. ISK provides an education which promotes academic achievement, social responsibility and global awareness. We follow the International Primary Curriculum and are fully accredited to teach the International Early Years, Primary and Middle Years Curriculums. Our high school students follow the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level programmes for which we are also fully approved by Cambridge International Education, the William Pike Challenge Award and the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award. ISK is also accredited by WASC the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.  This accreditation helps to verify the schools quality and integrity.

At ISK students and teachers take pride in their school. The teachers model life long learning through current and continuous professional development and the children experience personalised learning which equips them well for university and beyond. ISK students are  confident learners who are willing to challenge themselves to achieve their best; they are resilient and determined to succeed. ISK students demonstrate compassion and empathy towards each other and enjoy being part of the ISK family.

Latest News

Since our Early Spring Break all of our classes from nursery to Higher Years have been learning via distance learning.

With all of our staff google educator certified, we were able to meet this challenge with a developed amount of skills in place, however we have all continued to learn.
Our students have been incredible in their resilience and adaptability in approaching their learning. So too have parents who have been incredibly supportive in supporting their children navigate and access their learning.

Every class is still producing great learning. Below are videos made by our Year 5 classes in their unit, Moving People to raise money for North Korean refugees. We hope you can support.
