Last week, our Grade 7 students brought learning to life in a most inspiring way – with a community pop-up event designed to raise awareness (and funds) for clean water access around the world.

Let the Games Begin – Welcome to the APAC Boys & Girls Volleyball Tournament 2025!

This week, TCIS proudly hosts the APAC Boys & Girls Volleyball Tournament, uniting athletes from leading international schools across the region for a dynamic weekend of sport and camaraderie.

There’s something magical about stories shared under an open sky—and last week, that magic came to life on the TCIS soccer field. 

Our DP Visual Arts students recently traveled to Bukchon Hanok Village and the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA) for a day of discovery, dialogue, and inspiration.

This week, we celebrated a special milestone as students received their official IB MYP Certificates—a recognition of their commitment, growth, and achievement throughout the Middle Years Programme.

This quarter, we take time to recognize students who have demonstrated exceptional commitment, growth, and heart in their learning journey.

This week, our elementary students gathered for an afternoon of celebration to welcome the Chuseok holiday! Together they enjoyed traditional Korean dancing, crafts, games, songs, and of course – delicious treats. 
 

This morning, our Secondary School kicked off Spiritual Emphasis Week (SEW)—three days set aside to reflect, connect, and grow together in faith and community.

This year’s theme is “Growth,” inspired by the parable of the seeds in Mark 4:1–20. Through this story, we’re exploring what it means to prepare our hearts and lives for growth that lasts.

This past weekend, our TCIS family came together for the annual Community Cookout — a tradition that reminds us how special it is to belong to something bigger than ourselves. It was a time to gather all TCIS stakeholders together, welcoming new families, reconnecting with those returning, and celebrating the bonds that make our entire community strong.
 

Our Grade 6 students recently hosted a unique feedback session as part of their Project-Based Learning unit, “The Forces that Shape Us.” In this unit, students have been exploring how natural, social, and personal forces influence our world and who we are. To capture their reflections, they are creating original photographs expressing these powerful themes.

This week, we were pleased to welcome New York University (NYU) to our campus to meet with our high school students. Already in these first few weeks of the semester, we’ve had the privilege of hosting the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), and now NYU—with more visits still to come!

We are proud to announce this year’s recipients of the TCIS BOT Merit Scholarship, awarded to high school students who demonstrate outstanding academic achievement, service, leadership, character, and passion.

Last week, our Grade 11 students carried on a special TCIS tradition: the Junior Retreat in the mountains of Muju. Over the course of two days, students enjoyed time together in the outdoors while also preparing for the important journey ahead of them.

We are so excited to host the first-ever international "TCIS Tennis Invitationals," bringing together players from:

• Concordia International School Shanghai (CISS)
• Kaohsiung American School (KAS – Taiwan)
• Yokohama International School (YIS – Japan)
• Taejon Christian International School (TCIS – Daejeon)

Last week, our Grade 8 students stepped outside the classroom and into the world of innovation with a visit to an institute for sustainable farming. The trip tied directly into their interdisciplinary studies, where the theme of 'time' is guiding their learning this semester.
