My first day in high school had a significant impact on my school life. As a student that has attended this school from kindergarten, moving on to a new grade level was nerve-racking. However, the teachers, students, and the academic environment were very welcoming and supportive, and I am going through my sophomore year very successfully.

Daegu International School made me the best version of myself. My teachers at Daegu International School supported my academic growth by never making me give up. They always welcomed additional questions that I had and it helped me a lot. Additionally, I participated in athletics, where I could compete with a variety of  other international schools in Korea. DIS provided lots of opportunities for me to try new things. I am thankful that I was able to join the DIS community for more than half of my life.

There are a lot of after school activities (ASA) to choose from. I really like the hockey ASA. You can learn new things and have fun with your friends.

Attending Daegu International School (DIS) has been an amazing experience for our daughter since her kindergarten. The diverse and inclusive environment made her cultural understanding better. We are grateful for the DIS' commitment to excellence.

It was great how the teachers nurtured students' diversity and encouraged creative and flexible thinking. They fostered an environment that was both proactive and fulfilling. It feels like they're laying the foundation for children to have a global mindset and adapt to the global world. Thank you DIS!

We are so glad our children joined the DIS family. They found dynamic courses, focusing on respect, openness to the world, and autonomy acquisition. Thank you to all teachers and DIS management for bringing such a positive and supportive approach.

I love being able to watch the children I teach grow and thrive at DIS. The parents are very involved and eager to help in and out of our classroom. My fellow colleagues have been a constant source of encouragement and support.

As a teacher, DIS students are so much fun to teach. They are inquisitive, creative, and value their educational experience. As a parent of a DIS student, I appreciate how happy my daughter has been at the school. She has grown in so many ways thanks to the variety of educational experiences and activities that DIS has to offer.

I am honored to teach at DIS, where our school community not only supports our students educationally, but supports them in pursuing their interests that will help make them well-rounded individuals that will go out into the world and do great things.

DIS is lucky to have such an amazing community of teachers, students and families. This strong and loving community makes every day I work here a dream. The students are dedicated and talented and always a joy to teach. 

Everyday I am blessed to enjoy physical education with all our students; their passion and energy is contagious. Our staff is also passionate about helping students grow and find continued successes, and I am thrilled to be part of this journey. 

DIS really is a fantastic school and thoroughly deserves praise and celebrations. This is only possible due to the supportive, caring and dedicated faculty, staff, students, and families. Thank you, everyone!

The classes provided at DIS are diverse, interactive and challenging, and teachers help students learn different fields of STEM and humanities through creative projects, including essays, short films, infographics, and presentations. Having smaller class sizes, DIS offers inclusive and personalized education, ensuring that students get to take classes that they are interested in and push themselves to reach their full potential. At DIS, everyone, including staff members and teachers, are friendly and approachable, which makes students know that they are in a caring and supportive community.

Attending DIS definitely opened up so much more opportunities for me. Going to school in the US and pursuing my career there was just a dream for me until I went to DIS. The people I met, the lessons I've learned, and the great memories I made allowed me to see the world in a bigger perspective.
