South Korea Overview

Students in South Korean international schools are a mix of local and international families, often experiencing a supportive and globally-oriented environment focused on developing critical thinking, creativity, and personal growth, preparing them for global higher education and the challenges of an evolving world. These schools offer robust academic programs, a variety of extracurriculars, and guidance for future studies, sometimes emphasizing applied learning and service components. While some institutions emphasize a global perspective, others adapt curricula, offering extensive foreign language options, as international schools cater to families seeking an alternative to the highly competitive and demanding Korean public system.
