Hello my name is Eunnie Chae. I live with my daughter Tammy who attends Kindergarten at GCFS. I was born in Columbus, Ohio and went to elementary school in New Brunswick, Canada. Three of my four grandparents are from Pyongyang, North Korea and both my great great grandfather on my mother's side and my great grandfather on my father's side were elders at early churches in the North which makes me a fifth generation Christian in Korea. My family moved to Korea when I was 11, and I majored in Christian Studies at Ewha while living in Seoul. I worked in broadcasting at Arirang TV for ten years and for the past five years I have been a gym owner while raising my daughter.
What was the deciding factor for you to send your child to this school? When I first visited GCFS, I immediately realized that it was the perfect school for my daughter, Tammy. It was a place where my child could be herself and feel comfortable while growing both spiritually and academically. After starting school last August, I have seen Tammy grow and change more than she ever has since she was born. It was amazing to witness the process of her adjusting to school, forming relationships with her teachers and friends and becoming more independent while learning to love and worship Jesus. I will never forget the love we received from Tammy's wonderful kindergarten teacher, Ms. Grace Kwon, and all the amazing teachers of GCFS. I thank God everyday for bringing us to GCFS. What do you love about GCFS? There are so many things I love about GCFS. First of all, the amazing and caring teachers who are dedicated to raising global Christian leaders. Secondly, GCFS has a unique set of characteristics; it is an environment both modern in teaching method yet traditional in core Christian values. The students are educated with an open approach and receive so much love and individual support. Lastly, I love the family environment provided by the school, for both the students and the parents. I will forever be grateful for all the care we have received, and thank God for allowing us to be part of the GCFS family. |
