CHEOL-SOO JANG

Hello. My name is Jang Cheol Soo and I’m a movie director. My son, Namu, is in the 10th grade at GCFS. 

What do you love about GCFS? 
They say that you can only love if you’ve been loved before. I want to go even further and say that you can’t receive love unless you’ve received it before. For children, I believe that being loved and knowing that they are loved is the most important thing. It’s what I believe will shape their identity as an adult who knows how to receive it and knows how to express it because they know how valuable love is. There are many things that I love about GCFS, but what I love the most is that it’s a school where you are loved. You are loved by the teachers and you are loved by your friends. It’s a place where you naturally learn how to receive love. Students who learn that kind of love can go anywhere in this world with confidence. This is what I’m most grateful for and why I am so proud of the fact that my son is a student at GCFS.  
 
Why did you send your student to GCFS?
As stated above, there’s nothing I believe is more important than learning how to receive love. Just as a bird can’t fly by flapping just one wing, our children need that love and support from both their homes and their schools. Especially when they enter into the adolescent stage, they become more interested in their friends and finding their identity and place in this world, that the role that the school plays becomes so important. That’s why I decided to send my son to GCFS. From the beginning, the school was interested in who my son was and what he was going through. And instead of leaving his struggles and concerns to be dealt with at home and on his own, they were quick to accept and receive him for who he was. They didn’t rush to “fix” his problems, but from the beginning, they wanted to partner with him and with our family to walk through it together. They’ve been consistently showing us that they view my son as their own, and this is something I haven’t seen in any other school. GCFS isn’t just a school that has the word “Christian” in their name, but a school that lives up to it in both words and actions.
 
What’s more, GCFS is a Christian school but it also places a very strong emphasis on academic excellence. I was fully impressed by how everyone on the staff, from the teachers to the Principal, were committed to this. The teachers at GCFS are young, passionate, and well-trained and skilled in their teachings. The small student-to-teacher ratio allows for students to receive the best kind of education, almost like a 1:1 tutoring session. Seeing that the teachers at GCFS have that rare combination of having both ability and affinity, I was confident that this is where I wanted my son to be. Words cannot express how grateful I am for GCFS. My son no longer needs to be tutored outside of school and he’s made so much progress in his academics. But more than that, he’s become a much happier kid. He’s brighter, and he’s become more comfortable about expressing his emotions, which has been fueling his desire to pursue the arts in college. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made for my child and all I can say is, “Thank you,” to GCFS.
