HOME > KIS Gaepo Information > Message from the Associate Principal
Welcome to the Gaepo Campus section of the Korea International School (KIS) web site. I hope you find the information and brief descriptions below helpful as you learn about our school. We are proud to be part of KIS where together we can offer children a world-class education.


At Gaepo we believe that all children deserve a solid foundation for learning, understanding, interpreting, identifying and analyzing the world around them. It is our responsibility to provide students with a range of activities and programs that will help them to become life-long and inquisitive learners. We are honored to work with young children, and their families, and strive to create a partnership for learning which is second to none.
We are excited to offer several new programs and activities for our students during the upcoming 2010/2011 school year. We will be opening a Literacy Support Center, which will support students, as they become proficient readers, writers, listeners, and speakers. Another exciting addition will be free day care for our Pre Kindergarten (PK) and Junior Kindergarten (JK) students. It is our hope that offering an after-school day care will support students as they transition into a new and engaging learning environment while building on life skills and enriching learning experiences. Finally, we will be offering after school activities for our kindergarten, grade one, and grade two students. These programs will be available as an extension to the day where students will have opportunities to get involved in a wide range of extra curricular activities. We hope these new offerings will enhance our already engaging and exciting learning environment here at Gaepo Campus.

In addition to the new offerings we are proud of many other highlights, which have helped us to become a school where families want their children to learn and grow. We have a rigorous curriculum, small class sizes, highly qualified teachers, beautiful facilities, a welcoming environment for parent volunteers, as well as our accreditation by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).

Thank you for taking the time to review Gaepo Campus and visit the KIS web site. We hope to see you soon and would love to show you around our school. Should you have questions please give us a call and we will be happy to share with you further details about our school. If time is an issue then please request our Gaepo Campus Brochure and we will gladly send one to you. Again, many thanks for your interest and time.
Sincerely,

Patrick T. Rich
Associate Principal
