Handong International School (HIS) is a Christian alternative elementary, middle and high school located on the Handong Global University campus in Pohang, South Korea. The school began as a community homeschool in 1998 and later became accredited by Korea’s Ministry of Education as an alternative school combining elementary, middle and high school programs. HIS serves Grades 1–12, with an approximate age range of 6–18. Its curriculum combines elements of the Korean national curriculum, foreign curriculums and its own Christian curriculum model. Instruction is offered in English and Korean, with ESL and KSL support. Facilities and programs include dormitories for middle and high school students, a Creation Lab used for robotics, Arduino, coding and 3D printing, SKAC sports, music and art activities, and AP courses taken online through NorthStar Academy under HIS supervision. A distinctive feature is its location within the Handong Global University campus and its dormitory-based residential life.
