Hello from KICPC! 

More and more foreigners are coming to Korea for business or as expatriates. 

As the number of foreigners are increasing, the demand of education for their children also is increasing in Korea. 

There are 2 types of education for foreigner.

1. 1. Local Korean school. 

This is the option for children with sufficient Korean language skills. Children lacking fluency in Korean might be difficult to adjust to school life. Korean schools are divided into public and private schools. Public elementary schools are free (except for meal). Private elementary schools cost more expansive than public, but the middle and high school cost reasonable. Compare with international schools, there are much cheaper.

International school is better option for children lacking fluency in Korean. Most of foreigners send their children to international schools.
