About the School
The British School operates as a division of Seoul Foreign School. Established in 1912, Seoul Foreign School (SFS) currently serves over 1,580 children from PK-2 through 12th grade, drawn from over 50 different countries. We are a Christian school for everyone and have a long-standing reputation as one of the leading international schools in Asia. A wealth of information on Seoul Foreign School, including video clips of our school and community, can be found on our website www.seoulforeign.org.
Situated on 25 acres in a park-like environment within the city of Seoul, SFS is a not-for-profit school, with an annual operating budget in excess of US $60 million. All overseas faculty and administration are housed on campus or in apartments close to campus. Administrative and faculty turnover is normally low with faculty staying five or more years on average.
