About APIS
The Asia Pacific International School (APIS) is poised to become the most exciting and innovative institution for learning in the Asia Pacific region. While there are a number of international schools already established in Korea, APIS sets itself apart from the others by providing a unique educational experience that incorporates aspects of East Asian culture and language into the best American academic curriculum. The purpose of adopting this approach is to realize the true meaning of "international education" in this era of globalization.APIS Mission Statement
