The Best Boarding Schools in South Korea

Our unique distinction lies in being the sister school of Branksome Hall Canada, with whom we share our mission to challenge and inspire students to love learning and to shape a better world. At the core of this mission is the drive to enhance critical-thinking skills, empowering our students to acquire knowledge through life-long inquiry and apply it to real-life global challenges. Our mission isn’t just a statement; it’s woven into our daily learning culture. Since our inception in 2012, we’ve rapidly garnered a reputation as one of the world’s most prestigious international IB schools, consistently ranking in the top 1% globally. In 2021, we proudly received the ISC International School of the Year award. We firmly believe in fostering leadership and autonomy in our students. We encourage active student participation in school activities and operations, a philosophy that has yielded excellent learning outcomes. Teachers who engage students in discussions about teaching methods and encourage them to explore their interests within the curriculum gain the trust of our students. Positive energy and fresh ideas should originate from our students. At Branksome Hall Asia, global experiences are at the forefront of our education. Our Grade 9 students embark on an enriching journey through our Global Exchange Program, broadening their horizons through international experiences. Additionally, our Week Without Walls (WWW) activities helps students bring their learning into the wider world. Our commitment to empowering students extends to our extra-curricular (C.A.S.E) programs, where students initiate and manage many of the 120+ activities themselves. This autonomy allows them to address real-world issues such as society, local concerns, human rights, and the environment. Some of these activities have gained international recognition, showcasing our students’ capabilities as future global citizens. Our STEM-V education (converging visual arts, science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) is one of Branksome Hall Asia’s standout features. Design Technology, a compulsory subject, equips students with skills relevant to today’s leading business schools and global companies. From robotics and coding in Junior School to problem-solving and creative thinking in Middle School, students are prepared to independently plan and lead projects that contribute to a better world. Our campus is designed to facilitate this type of convergence education, with state-of-the-art facilities such as 3D printers, CAD, laser cutters, and think tank spaces. Students experience the entire creation process, from brainstorming to design and production, positioning them for success in science and engineering programs at esteemed institutions like California Institute of Technology (Caltech), UC Berkeley, and Imperial College London. Branksome Hall Asia is thrilled to offer Merit Scholarships to talented international students from outside of Korea. These scholarships open doors to a world-class education that prepares students for a global future. Branksome Hall Asia is where students are not only inspired, challenged, and empowered, but also equipped to make a meaningful impact on the world. If you are an international student seeking academic excellence, the opportunity to shape a better world, and a global perspective, Branksome Hall Asia awaits you.

NLCS Jeju is an award winning boarding and day School located on the UNESCO world heritage site island of Jeju in South Korea. The School offers a British education to students who achieve higher than world average results and secure offers at prestigious universities around the world. The School stands on three Pillars. Academic Scholarship, Pastoral Care and Beyond the Curriculum. Academic Scholarship A history of success Since 1850, NLCS (UK) has maintained its reputation for providing an outstanding education, consistently delivering some of the best academic results in the UK. Founded by Victorian pioneer of education, Frances Mary Buss, the vision of our founder remains true to this day and we are a school which believes fundamentally in what students ‘can do’; we never place ceilings on them nor label them. Strong in tradition, yet forward-thinking and outward-looking, North London Collegiate schools provide an ambitious academic education. NLCS Jeju’s rigorous curriculum challenges students to think critically and to problem solve. Except for a few small local differences, the curriculum and the aspirational approach to delivering it is exactly the same as at NLCS UK. Inspirational teaching We recruit some of the best teachers from around the world; they are highly qualified and inspire their students to discover a love of learning that will last a lifetime. Teachers are carefully selected for their love of their subject and spend time at NLCS UK to ensure they share the NLCS school ethos. They encourage students to explore beyond curriculum boundaries and discover their own passions. The school feels busy and purposeful, with warm and respectful relationships developed between staff and students and between the students themselves. It is a place where everyone matters. Diamond Model NLCS Jeju offers an exceptional education for boys and girls. We use the diamond model which offers the benefits of a single-sex education while at the same time encouraging boys and girls to grow together outside of the classroom. From ages 4-11 boys and girls share classrooms, from ages 11 – 16 students are educated separately and in the Sixth Form they come back together. The best of all worlds. Pastoral Care A happy, healthy child is a successful child Our school ethos is similar to that of the world’s most progressive and successful schools. We believe that by supporting students in every aspect of their lives, and removing all barriers to learning, they will perform to their full potential. We address any issue that can affect a child’s learning with conviction, professionalism and purpose. We also ensure that our students have a balanced approach to their school years which includes appropriate levels of sleep, exercise, social activity and academic pursuits. We therefore advise against extra-tuition in evenings, weekends and holidays. Boarding Students are encouraged to live on campus in one of the seven purpose built and modern boarding homes. Each home has spacious living areas, a team of dedicated staff to support students and is a home away from home. Students in boarding will learn ...
