Welcome to SIS
Principal’s Letter
Dear Students, Parents, and Families,
Not every student fits into a traditional school system — and we believe they shouldn’t have to.
At Solomon International School (SIS), we have reimagined what a school can be. As a private, accredited U.S. high school, we provide highly personalized education through 1:1 and small-group instruction, designed to meet each student where they are — academically, emotionally, and personally.
Since 1994, SIS has helped students from around the world achieve meaningful success, with over 4,000 graduates and a 100% university admission rate. Today, we continue that legacy with a more focused mission: to support students who need more than what traditional schools can offer.
We work with student-athletes balancing rigorous training schedules, students who face challenges such as anxiety or learning differences, and advanced learners who are ready to move beyond grade-level limits. Through flexible scheduling, live teacher-led instruction, and a structured yet supportive environment, we ensure that every student can progress with confidence.
While our approach is personalized, our standards remain rigorous. Students earn an official U.S. high school diploma through SIS and are prepared for admission to leading universities in the United States and around the world.
At SIS, education is not one-size-fits-all. It is intentional, focused, and built around each student.
We invite you to learn more about our school, connect with our team, and discover how we can support your child’s unique path.
Sincerely,
Richard Lee
Principal, Solomon International School

Academic excellence
Since our founding in 1994, 100% of our domestic and international student graduates have been admitted to quality 4-year universities throughout the United States, UK, Canada, Singapore and more. With an average GPA of 3.7, SIS graduates often have offers from multiple universities. Students who pursue an education at SIS will be stepping into a culture of hard work and dedication to their studies. SIS is the ideal environment for highly-motivated students who are determined to make the most of their future.
Faculty guidance
Our faculty members are passionate and talented teachers committed to helping each student achieve his or her full potential. They are also the advisors and coaches who assure that learning continues well beyond the classroom. At SIS, every student has the opportunity to receive individual attention from our faculty.
Student Life, Reimagined
At SIS, student life looks different — because every student is different.
Rather than a fixed schedule or crowded campus routine, our students build a daily experience that fits their goals and lifestyle. Whether they are training as athletes, managing personal challenges, or pursuing advanced academic paths, SIS provides the flexibility and structure to support them.
Students learn through live, teacher-led classes — either on campus or online — and receive individualized guidance that helps them stay focused and confident. Outside of class, they engage in meaningful activities that align with their interests, from independent projects and leadership opportunities to community involvement.
For students studying in the U.S., optional homestay experiences offer a safe and supportive environment, helping them adjust and grow both academically and personally.
At SIS, student life is not defined by a schedule — it is shaped around each student.
