The School
This school opened in 2012 on the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Jeju Island, South Korea. It shares the mission, and vision, and builds upon the strong traditions of its sister school in Toronto, which was founded in 1903. As an IB World School, it offers the Diploma, Middle Years, and Primary Years programs. The strength of the IB programs, combined with the school’s commitment to empowering students, makes this a truly remarkable place to work.
From JK Prep to Grade 12, students share their learning and living in a state-of-the-art world-class facility that embodies and encourages the value for intellectual inquiry, collaboration, effective communication, and strength of character.
The School’s award-winning campus is surrounded by natural beauty and culture. The intentional design of the campus embodies the school’s ethos and provides a landscape for learning where the environment reflects the integration of structure and landscape. The school’s facilities include an Olympic-sized pool and ice rink, fitness center, tennis courts, golf green, and fields. Eight fully outfitted science labs and 4 spacious art studios are housed in the STEM-V Centre with design studios and adjacent breakout spaces. The state-of-the-art Performing Arts Centre includes a 370-seat theatre, spacious studios, practice rooms, TV and recording studios, and a Black Box theatre.
The School Campus is a 40-minute drive from Jeju City and is located within the Global Education City development along with three other international schools. There are a number of small commercial districts within the GEC and residents enjoy living within an active expat community.
Living and Working on Jeju Island
One of the nine provinces of South Korea, Jeju Island is known for its natural beauty and miles of seashore. A popular vacation destination, the island welcomes over 10 million visitors annually. Much of the island is a designated national park and attracts many looking to explore its natural attractions and hike its dormant volcano. A UNESCO World Heritage site, the 700 square miles of the island features extensive hiking and riding trails, as well as “the finest lava tube system of caves anywhere.” The island is a unique and beautiful place to work and live. At once rural and somewhat remote, Jeju is a 50-minute flight from Seoul and other major Asian cities. The air route from Seoul to Jeju is the most frequently traveled domestic route, bringing many visitors and a busy island economy for its half-million residents.
