Welcome to KIS Jeju!



KIS JEJU OFFERS WORLD CLASS FACULTY AND FACILITIES
The KIS, JeJu School’s mission, and the mission of the Global Education City, is to offer a total human development approach to global education. The most important ingredient of a world-class education is the selection of a world-class faculty who believe in the potential of children and the value of inspired teaching. The KIS, JeJu Boarding School offers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a difference in the lives of children but also in the field of education.  We have sought out educators with an entrepreneurial spirit and intrinsic motivation to make a difference.


Scientific observation has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment. The task of the teacher becomes that of preparing a series of motives of cultural activity, spread over a specially prepared environment, and then refraining from obtrusive interference. Human teachers can only help the great work that is being done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they will be witnesses to the unfolding of the human soul and to the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of events, but will have the clarity of vision to direct and shape the future of human society. - Maria Montessori, Education for a New World
