SMOE Locations

SMOE places teachers into different areas and districts around the capital city of Seoul. These Districts are referred to as ‘gu’s. Seoul is made up of a total of 25 different districts. Each district has its own governing office as well as its own distinct history and culture. From the bustling business district of Seocho to the college neighborhoods of Seodaemun, Seoul is truly an exquisite showcase of contemporary Korean living and culture.

*Please note that Gangnam is operated under a seperate office of education and recruits its own teachers through a separate process.
