Info req'd on schools/housing in Seoul

18 years ago

We will be moving to Seoul next year with my husband's company and I am looking for some help on finding a good English speaking pre school/school for my children aged 3 and 5. I have read mixed reviews on the schools in Seoul so would be very interested to hear from parents with children in school. We are British but currently living in Germany so the other option would be a German speaking school.

I would also be interested to find out which are the nice areas to live in. My husband will be working in Kangnam-gu and then depending on where the children go to school we would like to live somewhere convenient, ideally in a house.

Finally, is there anything we should bring with us that would be hard to find or expensive in Korea?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Many thanks.
