Living and Teaching in Seoul and Its Surroundings
Seoul is a vibrant tier-one city set against a stunning mountainous backdrop, offering numerous opportunities for hiking and outdoor activities. While it is a bustling metropolis that serves as both a financial and cultural hub in East Asia, Seoul is a safe and convenient place to live, boasting low crime rates, excellent infrastructure, and efficient public transportation. The city is dotted with parks, cultural venues like galleries and museums, as well as delightful cafes and restaurants.
BEK operates five campuses, with Pre-Prep, Prep, and Secondary schools located in the heart of Seoul, alongside two additional Pre-Preps situated in Bundang and Dongtan, both of which are leafy, developed satellite cities accessible within an hour from Seoul.

We recognize each child as unique and provide a holistic educational experience.
Our facilities are thoughtfully designed to offer an engaging environment that lays a solid foundation for a child's early education. We promote play-based and inquiry-based learning, encouraging exploration, questioning, problem-solving, creativity, and imagination. Our qualified and experienced teachers ensure that every child achieves academic success while providing essential pastoral care. Each classroom is supported by a bilingual teacher to facilitate a smooth transition between Korean and English when needed.
