a Foreign School
General Requirements
Different schools have different qualifications for entering. Moreover,
relevant laws and regulations concerning foreign schools are subject to
change. Here’s a rough guideline to what you’ll probably need to enroll
your child in a foreign school.
First off, your child should carry foreign citizenship. Also admitted
are Koreans citizens who have permanent residency status overseas (ex.
US “green card” holders), have resided for five or more years overseas,
are of mixed ancestry (one parent should be a foreigner), or are of
entirely foreign ancestry.
To be eligible to attend a foreign school, your child should be one of
the following:
- A foreign citizen
- A Korean with permanent residency status overseas
- A Korean who has spent more than five years overseas
- A Korean with at least one foreign parent
Required documents for enrollment
- A completed application form
- Recently taken photographs
- Documents proving your child’s eligibility to attend a foreign school
- Reports and/or transcripts from any schools attended over the previous two years
- A letter of recommendation from your child’s current teacher
