SIE Central Empowers Global Leaders and Lifelong Learners
SIE Central, located in the heart of Seoul, combines a top-tier American education with South Korea’s rich cultural heritage, creating a one-of-a-kind international school experience. Since its founding in 2022, SIE Central has dedicated itself to empowering students to grow both academically and personally, preparing them to thrive in a rapidly evolving global landscape.
“We believe that to lead in today’s world, one must first understand it,” says Douglas Weir, Director of Academics at SIE Central. “Our mission is to cultivate young leaders who are both academically driven and personally grounded, ready to make a meaningful impact on the world.”
Central to SIE Central’s success is Alma’s student information system, which helps manage every aspect of school life, from gradebooks to scheduling, communication, and beyond. “Alma has been an indispensable part of our journey,” Weir explains. “It provides the structure we need to ensure that our operations run smoothly, allowing us to focus on what matters most—our students’ growth.”
SIE Central’s unique educational approach is guided by five core values: Creativity, Leadership, Integrity, Community, and Knowledge (C.L.I.C.K.). These values shape the curriculum from Head Start to High School, blending academic rigor with a commitment to nurturing emotional intelligence and social-emotional learning (SEL). This year’s initiative, Sustainable Solutions, immerses students in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, exploring complex issues like poverty and climate change. “By exposing our students to these critical global challenges, we’re preparing them to become compassionate, informed citizens who can drive positive change,” Weir notes.
With a vision to inspire both academic and personal excellence, SIE Central is shaping the next generation of leaders prepared to create a positive impact in the world.
