Welcome to Fayston Preparatory School (FPS), also known as Fayston Preparatory of Suji, a premier international school located in the vibrant city of Yongin, South Korea. Since its establishment in 2010, FPS has rapidly ascended to become a beacon of educational innovation and academic excellence, not just locally but on a global stage.
Our journey began with a vision to create an educational environment that transcends traditional learning paradigms. Over the years, FPS has evolved into a melting pot of diverse cultures, ideas, and educational philosophies, all converging to form a unique and dynamic learning atmosphere. Our commitment to fostering a global perspective among our students is evident in every aspect of our school life.
In 2023, FPS embarked on a significant enhancement of our middle school programs. As we step into 2024, we are excited to showcase our state-of-the-art classrooms and facilities. These spaces are equipped with the latest in educational technology, providing an unparalleled learning experience that is both immersive and interactive. Our middle school students also enjoy access to a modern, fully-equipped gymnasium, underscoring our commitment to promoting physical well-being and a healthy lifestyle. This holistic approach to education is a cornerstone of our philosophy, ensuring that we nurture not only the intellectual but also the physical development of our students.
FPS's dedication to educational excellence was nationally recognized in 2022, earning us the Grand Prize in International Education from the National Assembly of the Republic of Korea. This prestigious accolade is a testament to our position as a leading institution for academic and holistic education in Korea.
Our comprehensive K-12 curriculum is one of the most robust in the region, offering more than 25 Advanced Placement (AP) classes. These courses are taught by a team of exceptional educators, each bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to the classroom. In 2023, our AP Capstone Diploma program achieved global recognition, with a senior capstone project securing a perfect score in AP Research. This remarkable achievement placed us in the elite 1.26% of exam takers worldwide who have attained this distinction.
Our high school students have consistently demonstrated exceptional academic prowess. For instance, their Spring 2021 performance in a national U.S. math test placed them in the 99th percentile, a clear indicator of their superior capabilities. Additionally, our remarkable performance in the November 2023 Canadian Senior Mathematics Contest, where Fayston ranked 29th globally and tied for first place among South Korean schools, further cements our status as a powerhouse in international academic circles.
FPS is more than just an academic institution; it is a hub of immersive and transformative learning experiences. Our educators, certified in Kagan Cooperative Learning, are dedicated to fostering deep student engagement and collaborative learning. This approach not only enhances academic understanding but also builds essential life skills such as teamwork, communication, and problem-solving.
Our global outreach is extensive, with Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with colleges worldwide and partnerships with secondary schools for collaboration, competition, and partnership. These connections provide our students with unique opportunities to engage with peers from different cultural and educational backgrounds, preparing them for a globalized world.
FPS is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools (MSA-CESS) and is a proud member of the National Council for Private School Association (NCPSA).
