A look into the school's facilities
DUCKS (Kindergarten) | Ages 3 to 7
Our British international kindergarten in Seoul caters to early years students from Nursery to Year 2 and provides a happy and purposeful introduction to learning.
We provide a nurturing and dynamic learning environment that goes beyond traditional education, ensuring your child receives the best possible start to their academic journey. Here’s why families choose DUCKS for their child’s early years education in Seoul:
Holistic Learning
We nurture the whole child, fostering academic, social, emotional, and physical growth to create confident, curious students.
Innovative Curriculum
A blend of inquiry-based learning and a structured framework to stimulate curiosity and build skills for the 21st century.
International Community
As part of the Dulwich College network, our diverse environment enriches learning and encourages global perspectives.
Junior School | Ages 7 to 11
Junior School students at our international elementary school in Korea engage in topic-based learning, a cross-curricular approach that integrates different subject matter under an umbrella topic or area of interest. Students have dedicated English and Mathematics lessons and specialist teachers for Mandarin, Physical Education, Art, Design Technology and Music. Where possible, the learning in these subjects is also linked to the current topic.
We offer a stimulating creative curriculum giving students greater autonomy over time, allowing them to take greater responsibility for their learning. Regular assessment tracks student progress to ensure all children achieve to the best of their abilities.
Senior School | Ages 11 to 18
At our international high school in Seoul, we aim to develop confident, thoughtful, outward-looking young people. We deliver a rigorous academic programme, but believe that successful students are not defined solely by their attainment in tests and exams.
Our programme of study allows students to maintain breadth as well as depth, based on the National Curriculum for England and Wales, leading up to the IGCSE syllabus and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), an internationally recognised programme. This structured pathway ensures a smooth transition, providing middle and high school students with collaborative learning experiences and opportunities for in-depth research into areas of interest.
