Korea Kent Foreign School

Korea Kent Foreign School (KKFS) is an internationally accredited independent school established in 1999, located in the Gwangjin-gu district of Seoul, South Korea. KKFS serves students from Kindergarten through Grade 12 in a diverse, multinational community where students from over 35 different countries study together, giving the school one of the highest foreign student ratios among international schools in Korea. The school follows an American-based international curriculum delivered entirely in English, with emphasis on character education and academic excellence. KKFS is the first school in Korea to implement the 'MindUP' social-emotional learning program, helping students develop resilience, focus, and interpersonal skills that enhance academic performance. Students participate in student-run character trait assemblies and leadership initiatives across all grade levels. Graduates are known not only for their academic strength but also for exemplary character. KKFS is a member of KAIAC (Korean-American Interscholastic Activities Conference) and provides an authentic international school experience in the heart of Seoul.
