Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way.

Possible Name Change

Online Survey

The school is considering a name change and we would like to hear your opinions.

The names being considered include:

  • Ulsan International School
  • International School of Ulsan
  • Hyundai International School

We feel that these names more accurately reflect who we are and the type of education we aim to provide. A new name will also raise the profile of the school and help us to attract more students.

  • ‘International’ is better than ‘Foreign’ as it better reflects the type of education we offer and who can attend our school. We are an international school, not a school exclusively for foreigners.
  • We will always have a strong association with Hyundai Heavy Industries but replacing ‘Hyundai’ with ‘Ulsan’ in our name better reflects the fact that not only students associated with HHI attend our school.
  • Any change of name will not affect the legal status of the school. We will still only be permitted to enrol students holding foreign passports or Korean passport holders who have lived abroad for over 3 years
  • Any change of name will not affect the type of education the school aims to provide and the way it in operates

Any change of name will only happen after a process of consultation with all our stakeholders and would probably coincide with the move to the new school site. We would appreciate you taking a moment to complete this short survey Even if you don’t have a strong opinion we would appreciate you completing the survey as this is useful information. Thank you in advance.

Winter Show

The Winter Show will be on Wednesday 14th December at 2 pm in the school hall.

We were planning on using the auditorium on the first floor of the Hanmaeum Center but the process of booking and securing time for the students to practice was proving difficult. Last year’s show in our hall was a great success and we are hoping to recreate that atmosphere this year.

Great Learning Happening
