Our approach is marked by teaching our students how to take responsibility for the application process.
Communication among teachers, parents and students helps to create a supportive network to assist a student in finding the best university for him/her. Our programme focuses on the needs and desires of each individual student.
Formal higher education planning begins in Year 10. At the beginning of each academic year we work with each year group to ensure students have a clear understanding of how to create a competitive and individualised university application. Leadership skills and self-advocacy are skill sets we aim to develop in students over the four-year timeline. Each student will be assigned a University Guidance Counsellor who will work with them to research and develop a list of potential colleges or universities, plan appropriate summer activities and discuss resumes. Students meet regularly with their advisor to identify their strengths and areas for development, outline their interests, and develop a plan.
‘Start here, go anywhere’ is a reality for all of our students at NLCS Jeju. I am privileged to work with such motivated, inspiring and interesting young people who choose to study such a diverse variety of subjects all over the world.
