Principal Byeong Geun Song
"I have served as a teacher, vice-principal, and principal for about 35 years in Seoul, Republic of Korea, striving to create schools where students are happy. Furthermore, as the final responsibility in my long career in education, I was appointed as the principal of the Korean International School of Hong Kong and arrived in February. While maintaining my identity as a Korean, I will do my best, along with all faculty and staff, to foster global competencies such as bilingualism."​

KIS: Where Dreams Take Flight
​
At the Hong Kong Korean International School, we are more than just a place for learning facts. We truly value each child's dreams and talents, helping them develop a global perspective while preserving our language and culture. Every morning, our classrooms are filled with the vibrant sounds of children. Through various activities, we encourage them to explore the world, build friendships, and develop their critical thinking skills. Being situated in Hong Kong—a city rich in diverse cultures—provides a significant advantage for our school. This environment naturally helps our children become global citizens who understand and respect other cultures.
Children: Sowing Seeds of Hope
​
Let’s give a big round of applause to our students for their passion and remarkable talents showcased recently at events like the Spring Outing, Open House, and English Speech Festival. Every child grows and shines at their own pace. By paying close attention to even the smallest changes and praising their efforts, we can build a crucial foundation for our children to gain confidence and pursue bigger dreams. We kindly ask parents to also offer plenty of praise and encouragement for their children's small achievements at home.

Learning: Expanding Horizons
​
Our school offers a wide range of educational activities to provide children with diverse experiences. Through these activities, they learn teamwork, enhance their creativity, and improve their problem-solving skills. Given Hong Kong's unique environment, we are strengthening our English and Chinese education while carefully guiding them through Korean language instruction to help them maintain their cultural identity. We are committed to creating and implementing meaningful educational programs that children can actively participate in and enjoy.
School and Home: Shaping the Future
​
At the Hong Kong Korean International School, we are dedicated to providing the best education to prepare our children to be leaders in a rapidly changing world. This goes beyond achieving good grades; it involves helping children think for themselves, communicate effectively, and collaborate well with others. It's also essential to respect each child's unique traits and potential, offering education that fits their needs so they can learn and grow happily.
We will enhance our bilingual education to help them become global leaders and provide personalized learning experiences that allow each child to shine. Most importantly, we will focus our efforts on creating a warm environment where learning is filled with love.
Your active interest and involvement as parents are invaluable for our children's growth and the school's development. When families and the school communicate closely and support our children with a united approach, they can grow even stronger.
Together: Building Tomorrow
​
At the Hong Kong Korean International School, we are committed to being a warm home where children can freely chase their dreams and grow up happy.
As the African proverb says, "It takes a village to raise a child." Our children's healthy development requires your ongoing interest, love, and encouragement. We will maintain close communication with parents and work together to create a bright future for our children.
Thank you.​​​
