A Unique Opportunity
TCIS offers select certified teachers and educational leaders a wonderful and unique opportunity for work and ministry. The school intentionally endeavors to create a diverse and excellently-qualified Christian faculty, recruited from all over the world, in order to deliver a rich and challenging curriculum through the International Baccalaureate Programmes. TCIS believes that Christian education should be delivered in a community where ongoing learning is safe, encouraged, and expected for everyone. We believe that all people learn more by learning together.
We are a fully-authorized Three-Programme IB school and accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, USA. Our students consistently score above the world average in the IB and in standardized tests. They also matriculate to top universities in North America and around the world. The opportunities offered to teachers at TCIS are truly awe-inspiring in scope!
Our Academic and Christian Mission
The TCIS mission calls us as educators to provide every student with an exceptional education with a focus on academic rigor, creative/design-oriented thinking, direction toward a balanced life, and college-readiness. Equal in focus is the mission to deliver that education with a Christian worldview. Through example, mentor relationships, and Christian-based programs, we believe that students of the Christan faith should have opportunity to receive encouragement and wisdom as a resource to grow in their own faith, and we hope for all students, in their time at TCIS, to learn about the fullness of God's love.
We strongly believe that a most excellent education can be delivered alongside the graceful teaching of Chirstian values. We also believe that every educator in our school should be an active part of the full mission.
Education Opportunities Outside the Classroom
Faculty members will take part in delivering a full extra/co-curricular activities program for students in all grades. TCIS believes that these are powerful educational experiences outside of the classroom that add tremendous value to the overall education at TCIS.
Teachers will work with students in applying and transferring their learning into action, both locally and outside of Korea, in service projects throughout Asia. TCIS faculty believe that we can make a real difference in the world, NOW!
Professional Development
TCIS faculty members are supported with extensive professional development opportunities. They will be updated in current best practices within the IB Programmes and will also be part of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) within and across divisional and department groups. Teachers will be connected worldwide to a network of IB educators and Christian educators. TCIS faculty will access a well-mapped curriculum laid out in units of learning and will be expected to maintain and continually improve the curriculum maps during their time of service at TCIS.

TCIS offers faculty a great cross-cultural adventure in the heart of South Korea.

Living in Daejeon places you in a clean, safe, and comfortable place as a family or single faculty member. School-provided housing is in the surrounding Techno Valley area which is a planned community giving faculty access to environmentally friendly river and green areas for jogging/running, biking, and walking. Teachers spend an absolute minimal amount of time commuting between school and home, via the TCIS-operated bus shuttles, biking, walking, or personal car.

Our first week in Korea wasn't easy. Almost immediately after arriving, my wife had to go to the ER for a serious case of appendicitis. It was an unknown place, unknown language... seemingly with only God on our side. Suddenly, people I have never met before started showing up at the hospital, giving us support and comfort. The place and the language didn't seem to be strange anymore... We were a part of the most incredible community I have ever seen.
The community is wonderful, especially if you have a family. Living in Daejeon is like raising kids in a small town, the staff kids know each other and play together after school; even the parents help one another by looking out for each others' kids. It's great to be in a place where you are loved and supported in all kinds of ways!
Working in Korea and TCIS, especially with the pay and benefits we receive, allows for phenomenal travel opportunities! Korea, which itself offers a great variety of cheap domestic travel and beautiful cultural places to visit, is pretty central to Asia and affordable flights abound for the many breaks from school that we enjoy here.
The school offers a lot of professional development support, which allowed me to attend the Oxford Study Course IB training in England. And, as a member of the APAC and KAIAC athletic conferences, coaches get the opportunities for more travel to places such as China, Japan, Guam, Philippines, and others for competition. If you enjoy travel, TCIS is a great place to work!
