Find an International School in Korea

 

Due to language barriers and curriculums, nearly all expats in Korea have chosen to send their children to international schools instead of local Korean public schools. International schools in Korea provide high-quality education in English or, oftentimes, in other languages. There are a number of IB world schools, British schools and American schools in Korea. See the details about tuitions, location, school bus route, class sizes, extra curriculums, lunch menu and curriculum offered. International schools in Korea are open to both local Koreans and international students.
 
When enrolling your child into an international school in Korea for the first time, it’s important to check what curriculum the international school uses for its students. While in preschool and kindergarten, the curriculum might not be as important. However, once your child starts elementary school and beyond, it becomes more and more critical. International schools for the most part will adopt one curriculum based from a single country. The majority of international schools in Korea will offer a full range of programs for children of all ages. Many of them will be accredited from international accrediting programs. By meeting the standards of these accrediting programs, international schools can ensure that your student is able to get an education that is as excellent as the ones in their home country. Moreover, should you be in Korea for a limited time, or plan to return to your home country, your child will be prepared for an easy transition back.
