The advantages of studying at Asia Pacific International School

The excellence in education according to "the APIS way" is achieved by defining our strengths in the following four core-emphasis areas, which are critical building blocks for providing a truly international and distinctive academic curriculum.

Area Emphasis on building "East Asian Competencies"
APIS offers a rigorous, US-style K-12 curriculum with an added emphasis on the East Asian culture and civilization to help our students gain the competitive edge necessary to take on the challenges of the new Pacific Century. Hence, at APIS, our foreign language emphasis is currently on three languages: Chinese, Japanese and Korean. As part of the Enrichment program, our students will also have access to the best of Korea 's domestic curriculum (e.g. Korean literature, history, and culture) taught by teachers from our partnering Korean schools. Aside from English which is our main language of instruction, we encourage our students to acquire proficiencies in at least two East Asian languages

Curricular Emphasis on Science, Math and Computer Education
Technology is the main driver of economic as well as social changes in this era of globalization. In our state-of-the-art classrooms, computer and science labs, we take advantage of our superb IT-infrastructure in every possible aspect of the learning experience to provide an innovative and up-to-date education in science, math and computers. The ultimate aim of our curricular emphasis is in developing our students' potential to become the indispensable “knowledge workers” of the future.
Co-Curricular Emphasis on Performing Arts Program
The APIS education philosophy is anchored in our commitment to help our students nurture their unique talents and aid their personal growth. As a small school in search for excellence, APIS has focused our commitment to establishing an extensive Honors Performing Arts Program (with a particular emphasis on music). In order to help our students explore their talents and develop them further, we have, for example, dedicated music rooms and practice studios and offer a wide range of instrumental music instructions by a truly exceptional group of faculty members.

Spiritual Emphasis: A Loving and Caring Educational Environment Rooted in the Christian Faith

With its foundation deeply rooted in the Christian faith, APIS strives to provide a truly loving and caring educational environment where students of Christian faith and students from all religious and cultural background can be nurtured together to achieve their fullest intellectual and personal development.
