Valor International Scholars
Valor International Scholars (VIS) is another school on the list of the best boarding schools in South Korea. It is a residential school for students in pre-middle through grade 12. It provides them with a comprehensive and happy learning environment. To build an empowering and compassionate community, creative, project-based learning is combined with social-emotional workshops and stakeholder think-tanks.
Recognizing the individuality of every student, Valor International Scholars Comprehensive Education provides customized courses that combine traditional academic material with practical and professional skills. The Pre-Middle Program aims to set up students for success in middle and high school by emphasizing language development, guidance, and discipline.
While STEM courses emphasize practical application and hands-on learning, middle school courses emphasize study skills and personal responsibility. Intellectual curiosity, literacy, and critical thinking are given top priority in the high school curriculum. The humanities curriculum emphasizes critical thinking, research skills, and developing one's voice, while the STEM program offers cutting-edge courses and a robust robotics program.
Academics emphasize English language competency and provide comprehensive campus literacy initiatives, tutoring, and specialized ELL classes. The arts are also valued, with a range of music and art courses offered and specific graduation tracks for artistic endeavors.
For boarding students, Valor International Scholars offers a warm and secure environment. A nutritious meal prepared by nutritionists, study hall, late-night study hall, evening sports, and room inspections are all part of a typical day in the dorm. Students go shopping, take part in a variety of volunteer projects, and eat a delectable brunch on the weekends.
The school at Valor's boarding program is committed to promoting the mental health and general well-being of its students. The school offers regular access to professional counselors to help strengthen the mental health of boarders through a partnership with the Anseong Youth Counseling Center. The Personality Search Program, College Students Mentoring Program, and Leadership Improvement Program are just a few of the initiatives that Valor International Scholars provides.
All teachers and staff prioritize the safety of their students above all else. To offer assistance and supervision, Resident Assistants (RA) reside in the dorms with the students. The Caps ADT system is in operation around the clock to detect and stop any unauthorized access to campus, ensuring the safety of the students.
