Taejon Christian International School (TCIS) is a distinguished K-12 international day and boarding school founded in 1958, making it one of South Korea's oldest international educational institutions. Located in the verdant Yuseong district of Daejeon—a city renowned for its research institutes and KAIST university—TCIS has spent nearly seven decades nurturing students to Learn, Love, and Lead with purpose and integrity. The school offers a rigorous academic curriculum integrating IB programmes with a strong STEM and Arts (STEAM) focus, alongside a vibrant extracurricular and spiritual formation program. TCIS is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and holds official certification from the Korean Ministry of Education as a foreign school, making it the only WASC-accredited school in Daejeon as of 2021. The campus offers boarding facilities with a family-like care environment for students from across Korea and abroad. TCIS partners with top universities globally and provides tuition discounts for KAIST faculty children. With small class sizes and dedicated teachers, TCIS prepares students of all backgrounds for leading universities and lives of meaningful service.
