I graduated in 1984. It is an excellent preparatory school. It prepared me for my college life and beyond. I am now in my 50's. The school has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it anymore. Only the senior lounge (the old Korean gate) and the gym are recognizable... Fond memories... The negative reviews here were probably left by students who are or who just graduated. I felt the same as them when I was a student of SFS. Over time they will appreciate the education they got at SFS.

This school has earned its elite reputation for a reason: it is the top school in the city and the country. This is for a reason: world class facilities, top-notch teachers, a fantastic student body, and a supportive parent community. The campus is inspiring; the moment you walk on you feel that things are happening and students are learning.
Lots of schools say it but SFS really creates a nurturing environment for the students. The focus is on the complete child. Evidenced by a world class performing arts center/ theatre arts program and best in class sports facilities/ teams, the teaching goes beyond the classrooms. With over a hundred years of legacy in Seoul, it's history and prestige in Korea speaks for itself. There is a reason why this school is one of the oldest international schools in the world.
Looks amazing! If I am posted to Seoul this will be the school I choose for my children. I can see why they have the reputation as the best school in Korea.
just sfs name is cool
This is not a foreign school at all. This is a school for mostly English speaking Korean students. Bad education quality over all. Kids are rude and too competitive. They don’t know how to work together since their parents teach them that way at home. Parents, especially Korean parents are a lot worse than students. Faculties are not good either.
Horrible horrible school. Education quality is bottom. Quality of teachers is bottom (not all, some of them are good though). No discipline at all. Kids are hopeless, just from rich families. You don't want to send your children to this school. Stay away from SFS.
As a non-christian, liberally-minded student who attends Seoul Foreign High School, my experience has been mostly negative. A majority of SFHS students are fairly intolerant of alternative sexual orientation and gender identity. I've seen a student make an in-class presentation about why homosexual athletes should not be allowed to participate in their sport, even while another openly gay student was present. I've overheard conversations about how weird transgendered people are and how being gay is wrong. Another negative facet of SFS is its toxic competitive environment. Students fiercely compete to join any extracurricular activity, as the school only seeks to glorify those who have an already-developed ability or talent in a field, rather than nurture students who show promise. Several of the school's sports only have a varsity team. There are little to no opportunities for amateurs to join recreational teams to nurse their talent. Furthermore, the high school's grading system makes it ludicrously difficult for the average student to attain decent grades. To earn an A in a class, students need to maintain a 94% average on all their tests and assignments. In typical American high schools, this number is usually 90%. On the other hand, I find the majority of my classes to be academically rigorous. The teachers I have are fairly competent. I have a niche of close friends, and am moderately involved in extracurricular activities. These are merely my own observations--a devoutly christian, academically-inclined student may have vastly different opinions.
