Ms. Sungjo Jo is our new music teacher this year. Ms. Jo was born in Korea and moved to Argentina with her family when she was 10. She attended elementary, middle and high school in Argentina. She then attended college in the States before she started to teach music.
Three years ago, Ms. Jo moved back to Korea with her father, so that she could take care of him. Ms. Jo started her new teaching journey at Jeju International School for two years. The title “International Christian School” caught Ms. Jo’s attention.
