Principal's Welcome Message

C. Turner Joy Elementary School, K-6th Grades, is a small elementary school situated in the southern most part of South Korea in a city called Chinhae. On the map, we are southwest of the large city of Pusan. The surrounding area is beautiful, as the school overlooks a protected bay on the Sea of Japan. Climate is mild with short winters and long hot summers and plenty of sunshine. We offer combination classes and due to the low enrollment, we enjoy a pupil teacher ratio of approximately 15 to 1.

The city of Chinhae is noted for its annual Spring Cherry Blosssom Festival, where people from all over the world come to visit and enjoy the local festivities.

Our small elementary school of 50 students is very international, as we have over eight different countries represented.

Our computer lab offers the opportunity for us to reach out to the world and share our experiences with others. Please contact us on the net. We would enjoy hearing from you!
