Korean International School Philippines

Korean-curriculum K-12 school in McKinley Hill, Taguig, founded in 2009 with backing from the Korean Ministry of Education and the Korean Association in the Philippines, serving the Korean expat community.

KISP runs the Korean national curriculum in a bilingual environment with English-language instruction, in a four-storey building on Upper McKinley Road designed for around 450 students. The school opened with roughly 150 students and 22 teachers and has grown steadily within the Korean expat base.

The setting in McKinley Hill puts it within walking distance of much of the Korean residential cluster in Taguig. Curriculum and language align with onward study in Korea, so families planning a return move tend to choose this over IB or American-pattern schools. Less obvious for non-Korean families given the language of instruction and curriculum focus. Teachers describe a respectful student body and steady work-life balance, which is typical for an embassy-circuit national school.
