It is a huge privilege to lead this vibrant school community; a place where curiosity thrives, ambition is encouraged, and learning is both rigorous and joyful. 

We are passionate about providing a deep and rich holistic education for the young people in our care; one centred around the three pillars of excellence that define a NLCS education; ambitious academic scholarship, outstanding pastoral care and broad experiences and opportunities beyond the curriculum.

At NLCS Jeju, we believe that academic learning is at its most powerful when paired with a genuine love for discovery. Our classrooms hum with the energy of inquiry, where students are challenged to think deeply, question boldly, and apply their knowledge in meaningful ways. We are committed to nurturing not only exceptional scholars, but also well-rounded young people who approach learning with enthusiasm and integrity. 

Ours is a community built on respect, kindness, and collaboration. We take time to know each student as an individual, valuing their unique perspectives and ensuring they feel supported, understood, and inspired. This is a place that seeks to provide ‘floors not ceilings’ for all of its students; a school where everyone gets the chance to pursue their own passions and talents in a happy, safe and nurturing environment. The friendships forged here between our students, and the wonderful sense of shared purpose between our staff and the children in their care, are a testament to the spirit of openness and mutual respect that defines our school. 

We know that education extends far beyond examination results and NLCS Jeju is a school where there is always a plethora of diverse activities going on. Through a rich tapestry of co-curricular and enrichment opportunities – from the arts and sciences to sport, service, and leadership – students explore their passions, develop resilience, and discover new talents. This breadth of experience equips them to embrace the world beyond school with confidence, creativity, and compassion.

As Principal, I am immensely proud of the remarkable achievements of our students; not only in the academic sphere, but also in their personal growth and contributions to both the local and global community. It is a privilege to lead a school where intellectual ambition is matched by a spirit of joy, where learning is not just a pursuit, but a celebration. The outstanding International Baccalaureate Diploma results that our departing classes achieve each year, and the range of global top tier universities and colleges that they then advance to and achieve further success at, is the culmination of our values, ethos and work ethic at NLCS Jeju. 

I warmly invite you to visit, to meet our dedicated staff and extraordinary students, and to experience first-hand the energy, warmth, and excellence that make our school such a special place to learn and grow.
