British Education Korea (BEK) was established in 2010 and opened two International Pre-Prep institutions in Bundang (2010) and Dongtan (2011). The British Prep first opened in Hannam-dong in 2013 and moved to its current Gangnam location in 2017. BEK runs the Lodge as a specialist environment for Pre-Nursery through Year 2, following the Early Years Foundation Stage and the National Curriculum of England. The British Secondary campus opened in Yangjae in 2019 to provide a high school pathway with IGCSE and A Level programs.
BEK operates across multiple campuses in Seoul and surrounding areas, forming a multi-campus BEK community. BEK participates in external partnerships and community events, such as BEK choir performances at the British Chamber of Commerce Korea's Christmas Lunch with other schools. BEK students engage in programs like the Duke of Edinburgh Award, reflecting a holistic approach to personal development beyond the classroom. Families can engage in BEK-organized activities such as summer camps and campus tours across BEK's campuses.
A formal, centralized PTA is not described in BEK's public materials. Parent involvement appears to be organized at the campus level and through BEK's broader community activities. BEK participates in external networks and events such as the British Chamber of Commerce in Korea (BCCK), where BEK is listed among participating schools. Public BEK activities include family-oriented programs like BEK Summer Camps, which involve both students and families. For information about formal parent representation, contact BEK via the addresses listed on the BEK Contact page. BEK's involvement in community events through BEK campuses and external partnerships demonstrates ongoing family engagement.
