Welcome from the Headmaster

Headmaster Dr. Thomas J. Penland

Gyeonggi Suwon International School located in Suwon, South Korea, is a growing, dynamic, international community founded on common educational goals. We believe quality international education involves "educating the whole child." Our goals at GSIS challenge all students to grow in every facet of their lives during their time at our school. Lifelong learning modeled by the educators in our school challenges our students to transfer their classroom experiences to real life situations.

Quality international education involves the development of personal relationships and partnerships. Therefore, GSIS promotes the development of healthy, encouraging relationships throughout our community: student to student, student to teacher, teacher to teacher, teacher to parent, and school to community. Specifically, our school community actively seeks opportunities to strengthen our relationships with our wonderful host country of Korea. We are proud to be partners with the Gyeonggi Provincial Government and the Suwon City Government; these partnerships provide a stable foundation for long term success in providing Gyeonggi Province and Suwon with "world class" international education.

Welcome to our website, to our community, to GSIS, to Suwon, to Gyeonggi Province and to Korea. Please let us know of anything we can do to provide you with more information about our learning community and how we can serve your needs.

Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas J. Penland
