Community Services

Part of effectively educating a child is making provision for some basic physical needs. TCIS offers the following programs in the community to help meet these needs in the lives of our students and faculty.

Bus Transport

TCIS School Bus Service

TCIS provides an optional school bus service as a convenience for students (for an additional fee.) All TCIS drivers are experienced drivers with outstanding safety records and most have worked at TCIS for many years. For safety and convenience, buses are equipped with seat belts, CCTV cameras and Internet access.

The bus routes cover the major residential areas of Daejeon (subject to change):

Seo-gu (Do-an, Mun-hwa, Tae-pyung, Kal-ma)

On weekends, TCIS offers a bus to and from Seoul for dorm students who wish to go home for the weekend (available by personal payment.)

Juniors & Seniors are expected to be actively engaged in sports or other physical activity. Healthy food choices, an active lifestyle and adequate sleep are important aspects of good health. TCIS promotes healthy living among students and faculty.
