From Korea to NUS Computer Science: A KII Success Story

For many students in Korea, an international school education often means following the American curriculum. This is especially common because many families initially consider U.S. universities as the main pathway for higher education.

As a result, even students who are not necessarily aiming for American universities often prepare for admissions through the SAT, AP courses, and other U.S.-style academic requirements. This route is familiar, widely recognized, and commonly chosen by international school students in Korea.

However, one student had a different goal.

From the beginning, this student’s dream university was the National University of Singapore (NUS). More specifically, the student hoped to study one of the most competitive and prestigious majors: Computer Science.

While studying under the American system in Korea, the student gradually realized that this academic pathway was not the best fit. The SAT and AP-focused route did not align with the student’s strengths, goals, or preferred style of learning. After much consideration and research, the student discovered KII (Korea International Institute).

What stood out most was KII’s strong reputation for operating the Pearson A Level programme with great academic discipline and structure. After hearing how rigorously KII managed its A Level curriculum, the student made a confident decision to transfer.

That decision became a turning point.

At KII, the student was able to focus on a clearer and more suitable academic pathway. With a structured A Level programme, strong academic guidance, and a goal-oriented environment, the student worked steadily toward the dream of entering NUS.

The result was a remarkable success.

The student was admitted to NUS Computer Science, one of the most popular and competitive programmes in Singapore.

This story shows what KII stands for.

Once a goal is set, KII helps students achieve it.

KII is not simply a school that offers another curriculum. It is a place where students find the right academic direction, prepare with discipline, and move toward their university goals with confidence.

Now, KII College Singapore is ready to continue this proven pathway through the Singapore A Level system. With the same commitment, structure, and focus, KII will help students turn their dream of entering NUS into reality.

For students who are aiming for NUS, especially highly competitive programmes such as Computer Science, the right pathway matters.

And at KII, that pathway begins with a clear goal — and ends with achievement.
