International School In Korea?
Posted on April 15, 2012.
Korea Kent Foreign School
Seoul Foreign school and Seoul International school are the two top schools by far among international schools in Korea. They offer the most courses and send more of their students to better schools than any other. Campus-wise, no school will even come close to the types of facilities that SFS has to offer. SIS has probably improved their campus over the years, but it was really bad back in my day. I graduated from SFS back in ’04. YISS is a new school and wasn’t even around during my time. I am sure these schools provide a list of their course offerings and the universities that their students get accepted to. Take a look at these lists and aim for whichever is best. I am fairly certain and SFS and SIS will have the best. I can tell you from experience that the curriculum of SFS, and probably SIS, is going to be much tougher than the average school in the states. You’re in a competitive environment where it seems like everyone does so well. My graduating class had around 70 students and I think our SAT average was around the 1300/1600 mark, and possibly even higher.
However, if your mother is a Korean citizen, you will likely be at the bottom of the acceptance category for SFS. SFS isn’t too far from Yongsan and they have extensive bus routes. SIS is a bit farther and out in the middle of no where. Look into either of these two schools. If possible, I would highly recommend that you go to one of these. You may have to take some sort of admissions test, but the requirement other than you and your parents’ citizenships aren’t that demanding.
Don’t go to Kent…
