Seoul International School - Seongnam-si

Dear SIS Community,

As the 2019-2020 school year gets underway, on behalf of my colleagues on the Board of Directors, I would like to warmly welcome and extend my greetings to the SIS community for the first time in the history of SIS.

Since last Fall, the entire SIS community got together for one same goal, to continue the proud legacy of SIS. Through all our hard work and effort, here we are with the successful result, our new governance, the Board of Directors. While all the teachers and staff at SIS try to provide high quality of education to our students in their best interest, our main goal to establish a transparent and balanced governance system was finally agreed upon along with the new School Regulation, which came effective in April 2019. Then based on this School Regulation, the first Board of Directors officially launched in May 2019.

All this would not have been possible without the patience and understanding of our parents, teachers, and staff. And I personally thank to those who have worked as Executives in the Parent Emergency Measure Committee and especially to the Founder, Mr. Adams, who made a timely involvement and guidance.  

As the first Board of Directors, we would not take your trust in us lightly. Our goal is to develop a steppingstone for generations to come: a truly transparent and democratic governance system whose only goal would be to foster a safe and healthy educational environment for the SIS mission.

It would be the whole SIS community’s job to support their full growth and achievement. With an active participation, a transparent communication, and mutual respect, let’s all come and work together. I believe last year’s experience made us more solidary and resilient at the doorstep of the new era of SIS.  

Have a wonderful year in 2019 – 2020!  

Choo, Hee Sung (Anne)

Chair, Board of Directors
