International Schools in Busan, South Korea

Busan’s international school scene is relatively small but varied: a handful of English-medium schools (including schools offering International Baccalaureate programmes and American-style curricula) sit alongside community-language schools serving Japanese and Chinese families. Annual tuition varies widely with grade and school - typically from around the low-tens of millions of Korean won at some primary levels up to the high-tens of millions or more once capital-development fees and extras are included. School calendars and admissions rhythms differ (some schools follow an August - June western calendar with rolling entry; others align with Korea’s March intake), so families should check each school’s published calendar and prepare for document checks well before arrival. Most established foreign schools publish eligibility rules and require passports, proof of overseas residence or entry/exit records for Korean nationals, and common additional charges such as bus, meals and annual capital or enrolment fees; plan to gather transcripts and immigration documents before applying.
