Middle School Soccer Invitational

Dragon Drop Stories  September 10, 2026

A first for TCIS – and a championship for the Dragons!

This past Friday and Saturday, TCIS welcomed middle school soccer teams from international schools in Jeju to our campus for the first time.

Across two days of competition, students challenged themselves, supported their teammates, and built new connections with athletes from beyond their own school communities. Our TCIS boys rose to the occasion and finished the weekend as invitational champions!

The victory is worth celebrating, but the significance of the weekend extended beyond the final result. Experiences like this challenge students purposefully, strengthen confidence and belonging, and prepare them to participate in a wider international community with character and respect.

Thank you to the visiting teams, coaches, staff, families, and supporters who helped make this first gathering so memorable. Congratulations, Dragons!
