    Transition Assistance

    Moving to a new school or a new country can be stressful for families, and YISS aims to help students transition from one international environment to the next. The counselor hosts special meetings and events, including new student lunches to ensure a smooth transition for our new friends joining us at YISS.

    Partnership & Collaboration

    By partnering with parents and collaborating with teachers, administrators, Student Learning Support, and the chaplain, the counselor acts as a resource, an encouragement, and an advocate for students as they grow. The counselor may also refer students to outside sources for additional counseling and support.

    YISS is operated by the Network of International Christian Schools under the authority of the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education.
