Senior School

A love of learning continues in our Senior School.

The Senior School provides a rigorous academic education taught by highly qualified, knowledgeable and inspiring teachers through lively, active lessons. Students are challenged to think for themselves and to develop their minds independently.

In Year 7 to Year 9, students continue to study a British Curriculum, with Year 10 being the start of the two year, world recognised, IGCSE programme.

All classes are taught in English (other than languages) and a student’s understanding and fluency of English is elevated, whilst always maintaining a high level of their first language skills.

Students each have a Tutor and all lessons are taught by specialist teachers, with all classes taking place in designated areas with all the student needs to thrive academically.

To further enhance learning students have access to subject specific societies, interactive areas on campus and regular trips off campus to reconfirm what they are learning in the classroom.

“Our fundamental commitment at NLCS Jeju is to provide our students with an enriching and stimulating education. This intellectual development culminates in the International Baccalaureate (IB), a pre-eminent global qualification widely regarded as the most comprehensive preparation for higher education. The IB is, quite simply, the gold standard for securing places at the world’s leading universities and accessing the most competitive career trajectories. We wholeheartedly champion the belief that every student should maintain the highest personal aspirations, building floors and not ceilings. We encourage our students to take significant pleasure and deep satisfaction not just in their final achievements, but in the entire learning journey and the progress they make in their scholarly endeavours throughout the Senior School. Our teachers equip students with the mindset to excel and genuinely flourish, to ultimately make a positive impact on the world.“
