The Indianhead School is a private, non-profit, nonsectarian school
originally established in Tongduchon City, Korea, in 1979, with
a second campus developed in Uijongbu City.
The Indianhead International Schools mission is to provide
a comprehensive and enriched program of education for expatriate
children and for those Korean nationals deemed eligible by the Korean
Ministry of Education. Indianhead School is fully accredited by
the Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools
and Colleges, (WASC), based in California.
An on-going building plan has seen the development of three special
purpose buildings at Indianhead International School. The first
of these contains the main office area. The second building consists
of seven elementary classrooms, specialized rooms for music and
computer, four specialist ESL classrooms, faculty lounge, a 120-seat
theatre and ten teacher apartments. The third building contains
a fitness center, a 250-seat cafeteria, specialist rooms and music
and art, three computer labs, library, fourteen classrooms, faculty
lounge and twelve teacher apartments. The school master plan provides
for additional facility construction to meet projected enrollment
growth.
The additional space and facilities allow access to the school
for day students from the greater Seoul metropolitan area. The school
has made a firm commitment to pursue a plan of providing a high
quality educational program at a financially responsible and flexible
level and to offer these services to a wider range of students.
Small class sizes and low pupil teacher ratio at Indianhead International
School allow for individualized guidance and careful monitoring
of the needs and potential of each student through various evaluation
strategies. English as a Second Language instruction is provided
by experienced specialists to those students needing additional
support.
The Indianhead International Schools philosophy at Indianhead
