Athletic and Activities Director's Welcome 

Dear ISB Community,

I am delighted to extend a warm welcome to the Athletics and Activities Program at the International School of Busan. As the Athletics and Activities Director, I am honored to lead a dynamic and diverse community that embraces both whole school athletics and whole school after-school activities (ASA's) to provide our students with a truly broad and balanced experience.

At the International School of Busan, we believe in the holistic development of our students, fostering their physical, intellectual, and social growth. Our Athletics and Activities Program offers a wide range of sports and ASA options, providing students with opportunities to explore their interests, develop new talents, and forge lifelong friendships.

Our mission is to create a supportive and inclusive environment where students can pursue their passions, whether it be on the field, court, stage, or in the classroom. We believe that athletics and ASA's offer unique avenues for self-discovery, personal growth, and the development of valuable life skills such as teamwork, resilience, and creativity.

As the Athletics Director, my goal is to ensure that our Athletics and Activities Program thrives with integrity, excellence, and inclusivity. I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment where students can excel in their chosen pursuits, discover new passions, and unlock their full potential. Our passionate and dedicated coaching staff, along with our talented teaching faculty, are committed to guiding our students and supporting their individual journeys.

This website serves as an invaluable resource, outlining the expectations, policies, and procedures that govern our Athletics and ASA programs. I encourage every student, parent, and coach to familiarize themselves with the handbook to ensure a shared understanding of our program's values and standards.

I believe in open and transparent communication, and my door is always open. I invite you to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas to enhance our program. Your input and involvement are essential to our continued collective success.

Go Bears! 

Mark Howarth
