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!
Seoul Foreign British School, founded in 1981, has an established reputation for quality teaching and learning, its sense of community and family and its diverse student population. At its heart is a curriculum commonly used in international schools around the world, the English National Curriculum [ENC].
Using the ENC as a framework, we craft circumstances for learners from 3 to 14 years of age to develop thinking through collaboration and see the relevance of the curriculum to their lives today and tomorrow. Using research into how children learn, our approaches to teaching and learning:
– inspire excellence
– nurture key values
– prepare each student for life as a global citizen in a complex world
During their time in our school, your child will learn to value others as they develop an international mindset and progress in their own unique learning journey in a safe learning environment.
“..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.
