Korea International School Jeju

School levels, curriculum and academic pathways

The high-school curriculum page describes AERO standards and project-based/critical-thinking learning. The AP subpage retains a 2024-2025 offerings heading, while the general high-school page gives a standing list. These lists show published academic options, not a verified timetable guaranteeing every class for 2027-2028.

Entry eligibility and assessment

• Use the 2027-2028 age/grade chart and the school's previous-schooling rules. Grade 11 applications are limited to students attending overseas/international schools; for applicants from Korean domestic schools, Grade 10 first semester is the last stated high-school entry point.
• The published assessment table lists play observation/interview for JK-Grade 2; MAP mathematics/reading, writing and group interview for Grades 3-8; and MAP mathematics, writing, group interview and ITP TOEFL for Grade 9 and above. Components may change after the deadline.
• Applicants residing overseas can use the separate online admissions process, including Korean/dual nationals and foreign nationals living outside Korea. The on-site process page should not be read as requiring every overseas applicant to travel for assessment.
• Passing assessment does not permit an arbitrary start date. The FAQ requires a designated entry date and an available place. Confirm vacancies, grade placement, learning needs and English support directly with admissions.

Admissions dates and current-year scope

• Checked 1 November 2026. The process page's URL and browser title retain 2026-2027 wording, while its current age, document and assessment sections explicitly refer to 2027-2028. The fee page remains 2026-2027. A fixed next application cutoff and start date were not established from these pages, so this directory does not invent a deadline or label every grade open. Obtain the appropriate regular/rolling round and designated entry date from admissions.
• The FAQ says rolling decisions usually take about three weeks and regular decisions up to four, sent to the application email.
• The process page instead says text message within three to four weeks.
• Keep both contact channels current and confirm the notification method; these are estimated decision periods, not guaranteed offer dates.

2026-2027 tuition and other charges

Both the KRW and USD portions below are required per semester; neither is an alternative currency quote. The same amount is shown for the first and second semesters. These are 2026-2027 references, not announced 2027-2028 rates.

• Program and technology fee: KRW 550,000 each semester. Optional bus: KRW 2,107,800 each semester.
• Boarding, Grades 8-12 single rooms: KRW 8,450,000 per semester; dormitory meals are paid separately and the amount is to be announced.
• Application fee: KRW 400,000 per assessment attempt, nonrefundable. Entrance fee: KRW 3,000,000 once on enrollment, nonrefundable.
• Enrollment deposit and re-enrollment deposit are KRW 3,000,000 under their respective schedules; the school credits the paid deposit toward tuition. Do not add it again to the final tuition total.
• Textbook deposit: KRW 300,000 once for Grades 1-12, refundable subject to return conditions. Excursions may be billed separately.

The school requires separate KRW and USD account payments and does not accept annual lump-sum tuition or credit cards. Consult the actual invoice and refund policy. Deposit and program-fee refund restrictions differ from tuition, boarding and bus refunds.

Scholarships and financial assistance

The official FAQ states that KIS Jeju currently does not offer scholarships or financial aid for international students. No scholarship amount or fully funded status is assigned here. Ask admissions about any later published change; do not use awards from a similarly named school in another country or campus as evidence for KIS Jeju.

Required application documents

• Applicant photograph, passport copies for all held nationalities, and Korean resident-registration or applicable foreign-registration records. Korean applicants have the stated family-relationship certificate requirement.
• Recent school records, normally the current and preceding years specified in the three-year checklist. JK/K/Grade 1 school-record exceptions apply. Korean domestic Grade 9/10 applicants need the specified student record and English middle-school transcript.
• Homeroom recommendation for applicable JK-Grade 7 entrants, English-teacher recommendation for Grades 4-11, and mathematics recommendation for Grades 8-11.
• Teachers submit the official recommendation forms directly through invitations from the application portal. Where the homeroom teacher also teaches a required subject, follow the rule against the same teacher submitting two forms.

Application steps

1. Check the grade, age chart, previous-schooling rule, available places and designated entry date with KIS Jeju admissions.
2. Create and complete the official application, upload the required records and request teacher recommendations through its checklist.
3. Wait for document verification and pay the nonrefundable assessment fee using the school's instructions. A partly completed checklist is not a completed application.
4. Attend the assigned assessment/interview. Applicants living outside Korea should follow the overseas-applicant procedure.
5. After a decision, review the offer and cost/refund conditions, pay the invoice by its own deadline, confirm boarding/bus arrangements and complete enrollment before the assigned start date.
