SALT International School is a K–12 Christian international school in Korea committed to developing students of character, purpose, and global impact. Built on the belief that “You are the salt of the earth,” SALT values not only academic excellence but also compassion, integrity, responsibility, and service. Students at SALT learn in a personalized, relationship-centered environment where every child is known, supported, and mentored. Our curriculum integrates rigorous academics with leadership development, sustainability initiatives, and real-world action projects across multiple countries, preparing students not just for university — but for life. With a strong focus on Empowerment through Action, SALT students are encouraged to think deeply, serve others, and lead with humility and courage. We strive to cultivate graduates who do not simply succeed in the world, but help shape it for good. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
SALT International School practices a relationship-centered, purpose-driven approach to education that goes beyond academics. We believe that students learn best when they feel known, valued, and empowered, so every teacher also serves as a mentor who supports students in both character and academic growth. Our classrooms are built on “Empowerment through Action”—learning is active, inquiry-based, project-driven, and connected to real-world issues such as leadership, service, sustainability, and global citizenship. Students are encouraged to think critically, take ownership of their learning, and practice responsibility through projects, collaboration, and reflection. We pursue a balanced form of excellence: strong academics, emotional well-being, leadership development, and faith-based values. Through AP and honors courses, personalized instruction, and 1:1 guidance, we prepare students not just for college, but for meaningful lives of integrity, compassion, and impact. At SALT, education is not only about what students know — but who they become. |
