Education Beyond the 21st Century: Establishing a Sustainable Heritage at International School Songdo, Korea
A bold and purposeful new educational model is being initiated for students at Interna-
tional School Songdo (ISS) in Songdo International Cityi, Korea. The model will dwell
on a pragmatic, and yet, humanistic approach to education; thus, learners at ISS will be
bound to become functioning knowledge workers through a well-planned process de-
signed to enable and support individualized achievement by monitoring and assessing
self-paced progression methodologies with the aid of a modern computer system. The
computer system known as Studentlife Information Management System (SIMS) will be
specifically designed for ISS learners to plan, create and work on their individual educa-
tional career goals by a) assessing their continuous achievements as indicated in their
ubiquitous Digital Individualized Education Plan (DIEP) and b) accessing the available
required resources for their daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, semester, annual and life-
long builds in all educational content areas in and around the school community.
