Frequently asked
Do I need a teaching license for international schools in Korea?
Yes — most international schools require a full home-country teaching license (e.g. state-certified, PGCE, OCT). A Bachelor's plus TEFL typically won't qualify for tier-A international schools.
How is the pay different from public schools?
International schools generally pay ₩4–8M/month depending on curriculum, experience, and role. Most also offer relocation, tuition for teacher dependents, and retirement matching.
Which Korean cities have international schools?
Seoul (Gangnam, Hannam, Yongsan), Songdo/Incheon, Busan, Jeju, and Daegu. Songdo and Jeju are international-education zones with the highest density.
What curricula are offered?
IB (DP/MYP/PYP), American AP, British A-Levels/IGCSE, Cambridge International, and Korean-licensed bilingual schools. Most require 2-year or longer contracts.
