Global Christian Foreign School is a foreign school located in the heart of Seoul, Korea in Hannam-dong. The school is accredited by the Korean Ministry of Education and holds membership in the College Board, Association of Christian Schools International, and Council of International School Administration in Korea. Since 1996, we have been devoted to raising up global Christian leaders in grades K-12, serving expatriate families and preparing students to excel at the university level.
Many of our students have gone on to competitive schools such as Yale University, NYU, University of Notre Dame, Carnegie Mellon University, University of California at Berkeley, Parsons School of Design and more. We currently have a 100% acceptance rate among graduates into higher education institutions. We invite you to join our rich and unique academic community, filled with passionate and caring educators that carry a high level of expertise in their respective content area. With a faculty-to-student ratio of around 1 to 5, our teachers take great pride in providing a personal learning experience for each student. We thrive on providing an atmosphere in which each student is seen as a unique individual, capable of learning beyond what his or her own capabilities and past experiences have revealed. |

YONGJIN KIMHello! My name is Yongjin Kim. After many years of living abroad in the states, I am currently serving as the lead pastor at Sungsan church in Bangbae since 2016. Our family consists of my lovely wife Sara, Julian who is a 2nd grader at GCFS and my 23 month old son June. In December of 2000, I married my wife and at the same time, moved to Springfield, Missouri to attend Assemblies of God Theological Seminary for my M.div program. After finishing my program and graduating, I thought I would be returning to Korea shortly after, but we ended up staying for another 13 years. While serving as an associate pastor and waiting to submit my thesis at Southwestern Theological Seminary Doctor of Ministry, God called us back and we returned to Korea.
What do you love about GCFS? The reason why we love GCFS is simply the way Mrs.Chung the Chancellor and Ms. Song the Vice-principal exalts and enthrones our God and how that honor before God brings grace to us. For the teachers and staff, we do not see them as simply filling their job titles, but they are fully aware they are called by God and with that calling, they respond and teach with that posture. That is what moves us and continually displays grace for our family. Words cannot fully express what a blessing it is that my son leaves his parents care and receives love and care from teachers who truly love and fear God. i want to thank God who introduced and placed this school on my heart to recognize that the heart of this school is spiritual health and also there is excellence in academics as well. Why did you send your children to GCFS? The biggest deciding factor of choosing a school was that it would be a school where teachers who taught my son would be educators that honor and worship God. Upon researching many different schools, we fell upon Global Christian Foreign School and felt strongly about this school being the right fit for our son. However, due to the move and many different adjustments in processing our transition, we put it in the back burner and forgot about the school. Once we finalized our transition and moved back to Korea, God placed GCFS back into our hearts and gave us a clear confirmation to send him to Kindergarten and begin his education. My hope and desire is that as days and years to come, there will be greater increase in size but also hearts that will receive God as they participate in Christian education from GCFS.

They will be sent out to bring truth and light in their home country as well as internationally.
Your financial contribution will help further enhance our students academic and extracurricular programs by providing facility upgrades, strengthen our resources, and sustain our Christian education to bring many opportunities for the students to learn.
