Procedural information only. Eligibility rules and admissions requirements are set by each school and by regulation. Verify directly with the school before planning around this guide.
NOTICE
1. Two different school types
- Foreign schools are for foreign nationals. Korean nationals face eligibility restrictions, generally tied to years of overseas residence. If your family holds mixed nationalities, check the eligibility rule first: it decides everything.
- International schools in designated zones (for example on Jeju and in some economic zones) admit more broadly, including Korean nationals.
2. Curricula
- Common tracks are IB, AP/American, and British. If you may relocate again, pick the curriculum that transfers best to your likely next country.
3. Admissions reality
- Popular Seoul schools run waitlists. Apply as early as you can, even before you land.
- Typical documents: passports and visa status for the family, transcripts, an English assessment, and teacher recommendations. Requirements differ by school and grade.
- Tuition varies widely by school and grade. Budget from the school's own fee schedule, not from averages.
4. How we help
- School research package: a shortlist matched to your location, curriculum, budget, and eligibility, built from each school's current published requirements.
- Application support: document checklists, form review, and deadline tracking, per school.
- Tour booking: we arrange visits and interpret by phone where needed.
Written quote first; nothing charged until you approve.
