What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
Considering school fees and location. Eventhough Itaewon and Hannam-dong areas are very popular among Expats(great for biking to Hangan park or Seoul Forest park, dining, bars etc.) there are other areas a bit closer to school to consider. Depending how active your kids are going to be in their afterschool activities only children Y5 + can get on a late bus otherwise you have to drive them which it might take you 1 hour each way . There are also quite few families living close to school and due to its proximity paarents are more involved in Saturdays sports activities arranged on campus.
