Our Stories

Learning to Love, Loving to Learn since 1962

Lim Family

Being part of the Seisen Family means being open to all nationalities, ethnicities, and backgrounds. 

With faculty and students from around the globe, Seisen helps shape our girls' understanding and perception of the world.  The opportunity to attend Seisen allows them to experience things they wouldn't otherwise have, and that's something we are grateful for.  It has taught my daughters to conserve water, not waste things unnecessarily, and be good global stewards of our environment.  In Seisen, we have become part of a wonderful supportive community that prepares our daughters for a bright future. 

The choice to send our girls to Seisen has been the best one we could have made and we are confident they will be prepared for whatever lies ahead in their future.

What being a Seisen Family means to us!

Seisen isn't just about our children's education, it's about immersing them in a warm, welcoming, and diverse global family. Being part of this Seisen Family means becoming a valued member of this vibrant community. Students’ families and the school partner to co-create a nurturing learning environment for our children. There's constant open dialogue, where everyone's voice is heard and valued, regardless of background. It's not a one-sided relationship – it's casual, friendly, and even fun with a good sense of humor!

We feel integral to the school's journey to see our children become compassionate global citizens in this multicultural world.

 

 

Mary Chu, Seisen Former Students's Association President

“Every memory of Seisen is wonderful which includes the Sisters, my friends, teachers, staff, classes, participating in extracurricular activities, and being involved at school.  What they all have in common is that as a child and student, I knew that I belonged at Seisen.  As students, we always accepted each other even for our differences in culture, religion, and opinions.  We didn’t judge and were never judged.  I’m grateful to my parents for choosing Seisen for me since Seisen is a big part of who I am today."
