Our People

"Wherever I have landed in life so far - from my rural hometown, to Stanford University, to Asheville NC  - the community in each place has been what made it feel like home. The community here at SJA Jeju is no different. The students are kind and hardworking and the staff are thoughtful and driven. I feel lucky to get to work with, and learn from, each member of this vibrant community."

"I enjoy the variety of the weekend’s activities in the Dormitory. It makes my daily lives full of memories in SJA Jeju."

"I am happy to see that students enjoy weekend activities, but the happiest moment of dorm life for me is when I see students' smiling faces and say hello to them everyday." 

"So far, my most memorable moment at SJA Jeju was when I first toured the campus back in October 2017. I was impressed by the facilities and the sheer size of the campus. It's like a little university!"

"SJA Jeju creates an environment where students learn to be creative, adaptable, and innovative. To accomplish this, each student crafts a program of study based on their individual interests and passions. Students also have the opportunity to work closely with faculty members from around the world to grow intellectually, socially, and emotionally in order to successfully matriculate to exclusive universities all around the world. I am confident that through their hard work and dedication, our students will leave a lasting impact on the world."

"The students at this school are amazing. They are by far the kindest, hardest working, and most respectful students that I've had the pleasure of teaching. Of equal excellence are my colleagues- a team of dedicated teachers from around the globe who work collaboratively together and enjoy a good laugh. I honestly look forward to coming to work each day because I know I'll be surrounded by all of these people."

"The facilities are amazing and we are very fortunate with the abundance of teaching resources at our disposal. The parents are involved and supportive and work together with the teachers to best support their child's education. One of the best parts of working at SJA Jeju, is that it is a new school, so it is wonderful to be a part of the founding faculty and have so many opportunities to help shape the school and build something really special."

"I love my dorm life at SJA Jeju! The best part of living in the dorm is that we can be closer to each other by participating in a wide variety of dorm activities. All the students are mentors to me and motivate me to be more passionate."

"The best part of living in the dorm is the evening study. It's a mandatory studying time and I can get help for my homework and self-study from the teachers living in the campus!"

"My favorite classes are Mandarin and Spanish. I feel so lucky to be able to learn multiple languages at SJA Jeju!"
