We recognize our Donors who have made gifts to any of the following Categories of Giving in our Banner magazine and Annual Report: “We have been a part of the SFS community for the past 4 years. Ever since we heard that the new High School was being built, we have been continuously supporting the Building for the Future Fund. We believe that giving to the school is very meaningful because it is where our children’s hopes and dreams are being explored and pursued. We are grateful to be a part of this future and look forward to seeing our SFS students’ pursuing their dreams all around the world.”
- Parents of Madeline Lee, Grade 10
“I believe that the new high school truly encompasses all of the core resources that students need for their academic pursuits and creative innovations. The multiple collaborative areas in each floor and the Walt Whitman Library truly inspires students to strive for perfection, and provides an incredible platform for excellence. I feel very privileged to be part of such an incredible medium for education.”
- Geo Yoo, Grade 11
“By using multimedia tools our students have been able to investigate, inform, and celebrate Seoul Foreign School and its surrounding community. They are collaborative digital storytellers who use web design, video editing and sound engineering to increase empathy within the school and bring our community closer together. We have passionate students who are eager to produce top quality multimedia projects who would benefit from this type of facility. Having a proper multimedia recording studio would enable our students to take their projects to the next level.”
- Middle School Faculty
