Principal's Welcome

We are honored to have the opportunity to partner in your child’s education this year. Parents work daily to guide and nurture their children and teachers take over that privilege at school. Together, we can help our students achieve their dreams.

Welcome to the 2020-21 school year. We are honored you have chosen us as a partner in your child’s education. Educating and empowering the whole child is truly a team effort. We are thankful for the supportive parent community we have at YISS. Our teachers are committed to creating a safe and caring environment that fosters learning as well as spiritual, social-emotional, and academic growth. The love and support parents consistently show have an enormous impact on their child's academic success and overall well-being.

Over the past six months, the world has faced unprecedented challenges due to COVID-19. Although conditions have improved significantly over the past few months in Korea, all schools are required to adhere to strict health and safety measures to protect our school community. We are confident that despite these restrictions, students can experience the joy of learning and working together with others. We believe that each student is made in the image of our Creator, and therefore has undisputable value and potential. Our teachers and staff are excited to continue helping students identify their strengths and harness their true potential.

Let us approach this year with great expectations.

All the best,

David Benedict

Elementary School Principal
