Nurturing Leaders of
the New Pacific Century

Asia Pacific International School

is a purpose-driven, fully accredited, K-12 school offering cutting-edge international education.

why apis?

Global Network of Schools

APIS Seoul is our school in the East while APIS Hawai`i is the school of the West. APIS Students can take advantage of the schools’ global network to pursue, quite literally, our school’s mission, ‘bridging the gap between East and West’.

Personalized and Relationship based Education

The education for the future is no longer viable in a mega-school with factory-like education system. We are a small school by design where every child is known and cared for.

College Success

100% of students go to top universities and colleges in the U.S. and around the world. In 2018, 11% of students matriculated to top 10 universities and 80% of students to top 30 universities.

The Hibiscus Model of International Education

The 21st century demands new ways of thinking about education. The hibiscus model is the APIS way of preparing our students for the New Pacific Century, with deliberate choices and emphases in the following three domains: Core Curricular Content, Key Character Values and the 21st Century Skills & Dispositions.

Emphasis on Building East Asian Competencies

The rise of Asia and the relationship between the East and the West will play a critical role in shaping the 21st century. APIS has a fully articulated K-12 foreign language program and requires all students to take two East Asian languages.

New Pacific Century Academy

Every year, the whole middle school travels to the U.S. and participates in a month-long Project-Based Learning Camp at our sister school in Hawai'i.

Purpose-built, Collaborative Learning Environment

In our state-of-the-art recording studios, cooking lab, STEM labs, woodshop and makerspaces, APIS students explore and imagine the possibilities.

Incredible Opportunities to Shine

100% of students participate in student-led clubs, and majority of students play one or more sports as well as play in musical ensemble. Our small school environment encourages student involvement and entrepreneurship.
