Busan Foreign School, accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), is located in the beautiful Haeundae New Town area of Busan. This area is one of the most attractive in Korea as it provides breathtaking mountain scenery, beautiful sandy beaches, clean air, all the public services and entertainment that are common in North America, as well as a warm and friendly population that makes everyone feel at home. Busan Foreign School’s mission is to ensure each student, from nursery to grade 12, receives a world class education in an international environment. As a school community, we expect our students to be well-rounded individuals with critical thinking skills, productive work habits, and possess a strong knowledge base. Our comprehensive academic curriculum, based on U.S. National Standards, ensures that every student is intellectually challenged. The educational experience at Busan Foreign School fosters intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth. Nearly 100% of our graduates continue their education at some of the most prestigious universities in the world. Recent graduates have gone on to attend Berkeley, Michigan State University, University of Houston, Purdue University, New York University, Penn State University, University of North Carolina, and the University of California San Diego to name a few. As such, we expect our graduates to become responsible citizens, and leaders in the global community, as well as life-long learners. Busan Foreign School’s broad curricular and co-curricular program includes interscholastic activities, both academic and athletic. BFS offers many after school programs, such as soccer, basketball, cross-country, tennis, ESL, dance, music, art, guitar, orchestra, after school TOEFL preparation, after school SAT preparation, and an elementary sports club. The school participates in an interscholastic league, the South Korean Athletic Conference (SKAC), fielding competitive middle and high school sports teams, as well as a model U.N. and science fair where BFS students are well represented. BFS also provide many opportunities for student leadership training and development. Student council and the National Honors Society members act as agents of change in the school organizing social events, fundraising, and volunteer efforts to help the school and wider community. I highly encourage parents and stakeholders to take part in our community. You play an essential role in your child’s education. Thus, the invitation is always open for you to visit the school and take part in your child’s educational experience. Thank you for choosing us, and we look forward to your visit! Sincerely, 　 Scott Jolly 　 Principal of Busan Foreign School
