PIA Distinctives
Excellence in Faith and Academics
PIA was established to provide education grounded in biblical values and academic excellence in the midst of a world filled with confusion and uncertainty.
We are committed to creating an excellent learning environment in cooperation with diverse educational institutions, enabling students to grow academically, socially, spiritually, and emotionally. Our vision is to nurture global leaders who are equipped with both intellect and spirituality, character and leadership.
At PIA, learning is a process that integrates biblical principles, sound morality, and academic depth. Through this balanced approach, students are prepared to lead the next generation.
Our teachers, who serve with both professionalism and calling, guide students with love and dedication. They support holistic growth by fostering both character and intellect through a balanced curriculum.
PIA does not focus merely on exams or quick solutions to assignments. Instead, we emphasize deep understanding and the ability to apply knowledge, helping students develop both analytical thinking and practical application skills.
Through personalized learning programs tailored to each student’s gifts and individuality, learners experience self-directed growth and achieve continuous academic progress with creative and effective strategies.
As part of our faith-based education, PIA also provides regular worship and Bible instruction, helping students grow in their personal relationship with God. At the same time, students are guided in character formation based on biblical values and moral standards.
Leadership Education and Mission
The core of PIA is to educate students in a Christ-centered environment, equipping them with the leadership and values needed in every aspect of life.
Teachers with a true calling guide students with a strong sense of mission. They mentor learners in their studies, career paths, and future plans through a biblical worldview. With faith-driven teachers, students are inspired and challenged to develop creativity, critical thinking, logical reasoning, and integrative problem-solving skills.
PIA emphasizes a curriculum that integrates faith and learning, encouraging students to explore their personal gifts and academic interests. Faculty and staff are devoted to creating an environment where every student can discover their unique talents and God-given potential.
Diverse Academic Approaches and Excellence
Parents seeking a comprehensive and well-rounded education for their children will find PIA’s academic approach deeply satisfying.
PIA provides a solid, academically focused curriculum that teaches across disciplines such as arts, sciences, and humanities through a biblical perspective. This integration allows students to grow both intellectually and spiritually.
At the high school level, students have the opportunity to pursue up to 30 dual-credit college courses, Advanced Placement (AP) programs, and a wide range of extracurricular activities, enabling them to sharpen their academic skills and ignite new passions.
With this commitment to excellence in every area of learning, PIA ensures that students are prepared not only for higher education but also for the challenges of life beyond the classroom.
Commitment and Community
PIA is a community bound together by shared values and a commitment to growth.
One of the main reasons parents value Christian heritage schools is their focus on character development and community engagement.
While fostering academic achievement, PIA also emphasizes the importance of serving the community and neighbors. Students are encouraged to internalize the values of vision, service, and calling, growing into individuals who make a positive impact both locally and globally.
Values such as integrity, service, and responsibility are promoted so that students become responsible citizens and leaders. Through opportunities in arts, athletics, media, career exploration, volunteer service, sports, and leadership training, students expand both their sense of community and their practice of faith.
This emphasis on character ensures that PIA students grow into well-balanced individuals who are prepared not only for academic success but also for the challenges of life beyond the classroom.
Philip International Academy (PIA) is a lifelong education facility in the form of a school, officially registered with the Incheon Metropolitan City Office of Education.
