The History

 

Founded in 1958 by missionaries as a centrally located boarding school outside of Seoul, TCIS (then called Taejon Foreign School) began as a primary school with eight students in three grades meeting in a U.S. Army Quonset hut. By the late 1960s and early 1970s, TCIS (then called Korea Christian Academy) was both an elementary and secondary school with close to one hundred students in twelve grades meeting in classrooms and more permanent structures. Today, TCIS is a fully accredited college preparatory international Christian school with approximately 600 students (Pre Kindergarten - 12th grade) taught in five new and remodeled buildings. TCIS is governed by a board of trustees composed of members appointed by the founding U.S. church missions and two parents elected at-large from the community. The headmaster is the chief administrator and is directly responsible to the board for the operation of the school.
