TCIS
International School & Boarding in Korea
Taejon Christian International School is one of the top foreign schools in Korea. With a caring international faculty, TCIS delivers a Western-style, STEM+Arts-focused IB school experience to children in grades K-12. Since 1958, ex-pat and local families have chosen us for a high-quality English-speaking education and a strongly-supportive community experience.
TCIS provides elementary, middle, and high school students with an engaging holistic experience. Students feel like they are part of a supportive team of peers and mentors that challenges them toward their personal best. TCIS promotes growth in academics, character, global awareness, and leadership; we do this through the IB DP, MYP, and PYP programs as a continuous path to create competent learners.
Our Boarding Care Program welcomes students from around the world, including Daejeon, Seoul, China, North America, and Europe, creating a vibrant multicultural learning environment. TCIS students not only excel academically but also go on to attend prestigious colleges worldwide. We take pride in being a top choice for foreign and globally-minded families, solidifying our reputation as one of the best international schools in Korea.
