As a British School, we offer the English National Curriculum because we believe it gives us the rigour and assessment-based results that most benefit our international students. This curriculum, and the teaching philosophy behind it, are what makes our school ‘British’.
“..we all recognise the need for a balance and our sports, art, music, and drama facilities rank among the best in Asia.”
Our emphasis is on quality, motivation, and enthusiasm; expectations of the students are high. Our students perform well-above the UK average and in standardised assessments, compare well with the best international schools in the world. Whilst academics are important to all of our families, we recognise the need for balance and our sports, art, music, and drama facilities rank among the best in Asia. Our extracurricular programmes offer a wide range of challenge and opportunity.

Welcome to the
Seoul Foreign British School!
Not only is Seoul Foreign School the oldest international school in Seoul, it also has the oldest established British curriculum school as part of its four divisions.
Originally founded in 1981 as a small one-class school, the British School became part of the proud heritage of Seoul Foreign School in 1992.
We are a school big enough to have great facilities and resources, but small enough for our well-trained teachers to know how your child learns.
For whatever length of time your child is with us at Seoul Foreign British School, we hope they enjoy learning and that enjoyment will encourage them to become life-long learners.
We hope they learn to value others; we hope that they feel ‘special’ from being educated in an international context; and that they feel they are succeeding to the very best of their abilities.
“..encourage them to become life-long learners… they learn to value others..”
Developing Learners for Life
SFBS students are required to take responsibility. They lead and initiate learning and related activities, not only for themselves but also for their fellow students and the local community. Our students aspire to the best outcomes for each other.
