Introducing Our New High School English Teacher: Mr. Joshua Kim

We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Joshua Kim to the SPH Kemang Village faculty for the 2024-2025 academic year! Mr. Joshua brings a wealth of experience and a genuine passion for teaching to our school community. Mr. Joshua Kim is driven by the passion for teaching, especially his desire to work with students and guide them to recognize, through the scope of literature, various threads of continuity seen in humanity and its collective experiences between the ancient and the modern. Bringing in his experiences in philosophy to Ethnomusicology, Mr. Joshua loves to help facilitate students to read literature through the lens of numerous perspectives, from G.K. Chesterton, Guy Debord to Hans-Georg Gadamer. Via his impact, he hopes his students read deeply and widely, facilitating a propensity for seeing the world critically, creatively, and carefully. Along with that, he wishes to foster in his students an enjoyment of language learning.

With the proficiency and experience in teaching English and Theory of Knowledge, he seeks to find organic harmony between the two in his classes. Mr. Joshua envisions his teaching and learning to be holistic, allowing the student to grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. He also hopes to nurture his students’ gifts and strengths. During his free time, he likes to frequently visit his books, reading particularly on theology, culture, and philosophy. He believes in lifelong learning, and he always aspires to bring in unique vantage points from his studies into the classroom. We look forward to welcoming him and all our new teachers to the SPH Kemang Village family!
