How would you rate Yongsan International School of Seoul?
Academically they are mediocre at best. Facilities are quite nice. Teachers are quite biased and very vague with explaining during lessons. It's easy to tell which ones are better than others. Music program is okay, not that good. Sports programs are terrible. No track and field for middle school, heck, I don't know if they have a track at all! Just a square 300 meter soccer field you can run around. Recess yard is terrible, basketball hoops are not good. Does it matter? Not really, the recess is a mere 10 minutes and the kids there hog the ball during soccer/basketball anyway so good luck getting a shot off. They provide nice MacBooks, though. Definitely not worth the money to attend this school.
I used to go to Yiss, the staff is extremely biased and they literally do not do anything about bullying. (I left yiss in 2022)
Students are all mostly good, but very very bad administration. The staff at YISS are biased, and they do not care about their students opinions. At first people are like, “oh YISS has the friendliest teachers”! but that is very false. Teachers are rude, ignorant, and VERY BIASED. Middle school principal does not listen to their students opinions and does not work up to the goal she tells students she will accomplish. I would not recommend YISS to any student that is looking for an international school in Korea.
Very good facility but a feeling of a factory when it comes to communicating with parents. They are not interested in the backgrounds of students and only focus on English ability and nationality (prefer nationals from English speaking countries). Very disappointing...

Yongsan International School of Seoul is one of the top international schools in Seoul for expats. Great facilities, experienced teachers and helpful administrative team.

This seems like a great school but are there any dorms near the school , how much is the school fee, do you teach different languages except for Spanish and French, what king of courses are there, if it’s your first time in Korea is there a way I can go to the school will the school pa for certain things and how do I transfer from a school in America to a school in Korea? My apologies if I asked to many questions but please try your best to answer. And also, what kind of after school activities do you have. Please list as many as you want and again my apologies if I asked too many questions.

Yongsan International School of Seoul is very average school. Academics has got very little focus. Its ok to have focus on religion, but probably that's the only thing they are focused on here and little else. Its a church, not a school... google should change the category of this posting! Teachers are way too average and "artificial" in the way they present themselves... have seen them get basic spellings and 2 digit summations wrong in elementary school... and these weren't errors, they repeat those mistakes!
