Expat-Recommended International Preschools in Korea

1. Find a program that suits your child’s personality
Check to see if the program offers a play-based education that is appropriate for your child’s age and developmental stage.
📌 Tip: Compare the features and routines of programs such as IB Early Years, American, Montessori, etc.

2. the percentage of English speaking children and the teacher-to-child ratio
It’s also important to make sure that children are able to interact naturally with their native peers, and that the number of children a teacher is responsible for is appropriate.
📌 Tip: Ask the school directly about the percentage of foreign children, the size of each class, and whether or not they have an assistant teacher.

3. hours of care and ease of access
You should also consider real-world operational systems, such as extended care, school busing, and the availability of school lunches.
📌 Tip: Consider your parents’ commute to work and school routes when choosing a location.
