- History & Memorable Moments
Seoul International School or SIS as it commonly called, is a secular international college preparatory school situated in Seongnam, Korea offering an American curriculum in an English only setting. When Seoul International School first commenced operations in 1973, it was the first foreign school, since liberation (1945), to be fully recognized by the Republic of Korea (ROK) Ministry of Education. SIS has grown and expanded to provide opportunities in education for the growing and changing expatriate community. SIS was first located on the campus of Konkuk University where a new classroom facility was completed in 1976. The first graduation of the four-year high school program was held in 1978. As SIS grew and expanded a larger facility and campus were needed. In 1981, the present eight acre site was selected, and the unique building of Korean design with 150,000 square feet was completed just over four years later. The move to the wooded campus with its many cultural artifacts was made in May, 1985. Conveniently located in the city of Seongnam and close to the border with Seoul, the school is about twenty-five minutes south of Lotte World, the Jamsil subway station and Olympic Park. [1]
