Seoul - School Report Question and Answers

Do expatriate students socialize with local students at the school? Are both groups successfully integrated into the school culture?

My kids hang out with local and expat kids. However it is sometimes difficult since expats are a smaller group. It is supposed to be English-only and it is in the classroom, but on the playground, the local kids often revert to Korean. My boys don't notice/care, but my daughter often found it hard to break into. She does have local friends and we have had them over and vice versa. - May 2016


I don't know. Socializing in homes with children, is not really a 'Korean' thing. Most kids go out to the mall or other places when they get together. - Nov 2015


No, unless there is an out-of-school field trip or activity. - May 2015
