Gyeonggi Suwon International School

GSIS has just celebrated its 10-year anniversary. A full PYP, MYP and DP school, GSIS is a PK- G12 institution of 500 students. With the beautiful Yeong Heung Forest as its backyard, the school is nestled 20km south of Seoul’s city limits. The Assistant Head of School in his second year at GSIS has put together the current leadership team consisting of administrators new to GSIS in 2016. In its first year, the team has begun to increase the school’s visibility with #KnightsROK. In addition, the team has been dedicated to innovative approaches to professional development and teacher empowerment, growing a culture of unity and pride.

Liz Cho

Director of Curriculum at Gyeonggi Suwon International School

Elizabeth (Liz) Cho has been an educator for 13 years. She is currently the Director of Curriculum GSIS. She is passionate about empowering teachers to see themselves as leaders, and she is an avid believer in the power of servant leadership. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean she is servile – she’s a “tiny dynamo” as described by her former colleagues. She also runs, silks, hoops and has a horrible sense of direction; anything else academic and professional about Liz can be found on her webpage at lizcho.org, and she tweets as @cho_liz.
