Yongsan International School of Seoul
Yongsan International School of Seoul (YISS) is an international school in the heart of Seoul, Korea, and offers an American curriculum for expatriate families. Located within the international district of Itaewon, YISS has 1,000 students hailing from 55 different countries, supported by 175 staff members. YISS prides itself on offering an education that equals what students can receive in the United States, while also providing a diverse environment where students can make friends from all over the world. For example, the athletic teams play against other international schools, attending competitions in Guam, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan, and Thailand — presenting students with unique opportunities that they would not have in the U.S. Brendon McCarthy
