Saint Johnsbury Academy Jeju
Situated on the stunning island of Jeju in South Korea, Saint Johnsbury Academy Jeju is a PreK–12 day boarding school accredited by the NEASC. SJA Jeju was accepted as a "Candidate for Accreditation" by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is a member of the College Board.
The special capstone intensive program SJA Jeju offers in the final year of each educational level—grades 5, 8, and 12—makes the school unique. Students at SJA Jeju have the opportunity to conduct personal research, present projects that are meaningful to them, and discover their true passions through the capstone intensive program.
The sister school of Vermont, USA's St. Johnsbury Academy is SJA Jeju. Despite being the newest international boarding school in Jeju Global Education City, SJA Jeju is creating a stir with its distinctive approach to teaching and the advancement of students' learning.
The Residential Life Program is based on the fundamental principles of character, inquiry, and community that make SJA Jeju a special learning environment. The school is dedicated to supporting each resident student in becoming the best version of themselves.
After-school programs are mandatory for all boarding students. Students can participate in various faculty-led extracurricular activities and clubs at SJA Jeju all year long. Every boarding student (grades 6 through 10) is required to participate in four ASAs (as well as sports) from Monday through Thursday. All students who don't participate in sports will be expected to study in the library until 4:30 pm after ASAs are over, at which point they can head back to their dorms.
Launching the College Application Support Program (CASP) is Saint Johnsbury Academy Jeju. All students (in Grades 6 through 10) are expected to participate in this session, which will run from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm on the weekend. Volunteering, skill-building exercises, and sports-related activities will all be included in the program. On Saturday mornings between 10.30 and 11.30, there will be additional small-scale events for MS students in the vicinity of the GEC or on campus.
Five nights a week, residents living in dorms attend Evening Study. During this period, proctors and teachers from the MS and HS assist all dorm students in their studies. During evening study, students can also use the library's resources. Students can complete all of their academic assignments during this time by having access to music rooms, art rooms, and group study rooms.
Whenever students are present in the dorms, the medical staff is on call or in their office around the clock. Additionally, Saint Johnsbury Academy Jeju always has a social/emotional counselor on staff or available for emergencies involving dorm students.
To help ensure school safety, SJA Jeju employs security personnel and makes use of CCTV. The front doors are monitored by the proctors on duty, and it is expected of both students and proctors to keep the side and back doors closed and locked. The security team makes frequent checks during the night to make sure that all doors are locked and that access to the dorms is prohibited without the proper ID card.
