Korea International School (KIS) — Seoul, South Korea
School type: International (IB World School) · IB Programmes: DP · Live coaching in KST (Korea)
Korea International School (KIS) was founded in 1999 and operates campuses in Pangyo (Seongnam, south of Seoul) and Gaepo (Gangnam). KIS enrols approximately 2,100 students from 30+ countries, making it one of South Korea's largest international schools. The school follows an American curriculum and offers the IB Diploma for Grades 11–12.
KIS offers IB Biology at both HL and SL. The Pangyo campus — located in South Korea's "Silicon Valley" tech corridor (Naver, Kakao, Samsung SDS, NCSoft) — houses state-of-the-art science labs. Biology HL is popular among KIS students targeting US pre-medical tracks, given the strong Korean-American university pipeline.
KIS graduates matriculate to US Ivy League and top-50 universities, UK Russell Group, and Korean universities (Yonsei, Korea University, KAIST). The school's Korean-American student body and strong US-university counselling create a competitive pre-medical and life-sciences pipeline.
Sourced from publicly available rankings, the school's own annual diploma results communications, and the IB Organization's programme authorisations.
KIS graduates approximately 180 IB Diploma candidates annually — one of the largest DP cohorts in East Asia. Biology HL is heavily subscribed, driven by the pre-medical university track. The school's American curriculum foundation means students enter IB with strong AP-style analytical skills.
KIS reports strong US Ivy League placements (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Cornell), UK Russell Group (Imperial, UCL, Edinburgh), and Korean universities (Yonsei Medicine, Korea University, KAIST). Pre-medical applications dominate the science cohort.
We align with KIS's academic calendar (late August start, January/May semesters). KST evening sessions (6–9 PM) fit after KIS Pangyo's 3:30 PM dismissal and typical hagwon (private academy) commitments.

Cerebrum Biology Academy is biology-only across NEET, Biology Olympiads (NSEB / INBO / IBO + USABO / BBO), IB Biology, AP Biology, and board Biology (CBSE, ICSE, IGCSE, A-Level). The KIS context stays attached when you switch from IB to NEET or Olympiad enquiries — your counsellor knows where your child studies.
IB + NEET integrated track for India-returning families — keep AIIMS / state medical via NEET as an option even while based at KIS.
IBO and country-level olympiads (USABO / BBO / equivalents). The IB HL syllabus overlaps meaningfully with the Olympiad core.
