Gonzalez, Edward- Filmmaking & Photography Teacher of High School, SJA Jeju

"From the very start, our school has adopted educational methodologies rooted in project-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and growth mindset, which have helped foster an environment where students learn from their mistakes, learn to ask good questions, explore their curiosity, to collaborate with others, to be creative, and to take ownership of their learning.  For us teachers, it's a rewarding feeling to witness students enjoying the learning process so much and to play a part in their journey. "

Jesus, Mateus - Elementary School Counselor, SJA Jeju

"SJA Jeju understands that all learning is social and emotional. It is a pleasure to support the students in learning how to recognize, understand, label, express, and regulate their emotions. Students are also immersed in a diverse environment of teachers and students, learning to respect and build international-mindedness. I am thrilled to be part of this community and love seeing our students develop socially, emotionally, and academically."
