 Message from the Principal

I am so very lucky to be a part of the DoDDS-Korea team, and a member of the Seoul American School family. As a DoDEA educator for more than twenty-eight years, I have had the terrific opportunity to be able to do a job that I love while serving my country at the same time. Our DoDEA students are this nation's youngest patriots, and we believe they should be provided a world class education while receiving the validation and appreciation they so richly deserve. Our SAES Staff is committed to the delivery of a quality instructional program--one that promotes academic excellence, while building positive self-concepts among our children.
 
As we join as partners in each child's education, we need to agree that communication is the key to success. We know that informed and involved parents positively influence children's success and happiness in school. We invite you to take advantage of opportunities to get to know all of us at SAES. We are here to serve you and provide instruction that reflects research-based best practices in a standards-driven environment.
 
Our Community Strategic Plan drives our instructional program. We are in the business of teaching and learning and know that our primary role is to increase each child's academic achievement. We invite you to join us as we learn together! Share your talents and expertise with us.
Look forward to getting to know you and your child!
 
Sincerely,
Melissa L. Klopfer, Principal SAES

Guiding Principles
  • DoDEA curriculum standards set the expectation for curriculum and instruction.
