Anyone ever work there or know anything about it? I was contacted about a possible interview with them but can't seem to find much about it online. Wondering if it's a true International School or not. I believe it is located in Yatop.

Also known as Korea International School. They even have a wiki page. There's also a news item: they had a V-day (day for violence against women). One of the performance on that was named (gasp) 'Vagina Talk'! This is some serious school!

BIS and KIS are not the same.

KIS is in Pangyo while there is or was a BIS near Migeum, so not sure about yatap.

Yeah, it's not KIS.. It's the one in Migeum that I was looking into.

It apparently is a Canadian school, but in Korea. It uses Canadian curriculum and falls under the British Columbia Dept. of Ed. Looks like a legit school. I believe they called it an "Off Shore Canadian School".

My buddy used to be the principal at BIS... he quit when he found out that the school was not a legit international school but a glorified hagwon, although that could have changed in the past few years. Sorry I don't have any more recent info. From the website, though, it looks like it could have undergone a metamorphosis and be a legit school now.
