Taejon Christian International School
Taejon Christian International School (TCIS) is one of the best boarding schools in South Korea. TCIS offers kids in grades K–12 an IB education with a STEM+Arts focus, Western-style. Families from both local and expatriate communities select Taejon Christian International School because it offers an excellent English-speaking education and a vibrant community.
Students in elementary, middle, and high school can enjoy an engaging, all-encompassing experience at TCIS. Academic, character, global awareness, and leadership development are all encouraged at the school. It accomplishes this as a continuous process to produce competent learners through the IB DP, MYP, and PYP programs.
Through the Boarding Care Program, students from Daejeon, Seoul, China, North America, Europe, and other places join local students, resulting in a vibrant and diverse learning environment. Students from Taejon Christian International School not only achieve academic success but also go on to enroll in esteemed universities across the globe.
The TCIS Boarding Care Program amplifies the learning processes in conjunction with academic programs. An intentional structure attends to the physical, emotional, and social needs of the individual as a whole. The relationships that students have with their peers in the residence life program are among the biggest joys and advantages. Students in grades 6–12 who board at TCIS are looked after by the Residence Life Program.
Every weekday, students living in dorms are provided with a full meal plan, and on weekends, the plan is adjusted to fit different weekend schedules and activities. Weeknight evening snacks are also provided to students; these can come from the community and cafeteria, as well as occasionally from the dorm staff who make their treats.
Throughout the week, the boarding students are attended to by two fully qualified nurses. A boarding nurse of Taejon Christian International School stays from 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., and a day nurse is available from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. For the safety of the students, security guards are on duty around the clock, and digital surveillance systems are installed on the campus and in the residence halls.
Activities related to school take place in the fitness center, at club meetings, on sports teams, and on service committees during the after-school hours. Additionally, boarding students can hang out and go shopping with their pals in the downtown area. Maybe they'll just take a quick nap before study hall and dinner. Students can still use the school's facilities, and there are programs available to help them succeed academically.
Every evening, boarders have a two-hour supervised study hall where they can concentrate on their studies in a calm environment. Certified Teacher Resident Assistants provide weekly subject-specific academic support during this time.
For those who opt to use Korea's reliable public transportation networks to get home, weekend transportation to multiple Daejeon stations is offered. There are also scheduled times for Sunday night pickups from the stations. For those who prefer the convenience of having their bus or train tickets pre-purchased or who would like to secure tickets in advance for major holidays, the Residence Life Program offers assistance.
