Admissions
doris recommends that you start by speaking to admissions. This connects you directly to the school's admissions team who can respond with answers, more information, and next steps.

1. Check Eligibility. The applicant must meet the local eligibility criteria to attend a foreign school in Seoul. The eligible categories are: the child of a parent who does not possess Korean nationality; a Korean national (including dual citizens) who has resided abroad for at least three years; or a child naturalised as Korean who may have difficulties continuing at a local school under applicable regulations. Parents must disclose citizenship status and provide valid passports and alien registration cards, along with other documents listed on the application checklist. The primary teaching language is English, and non-native English speakers are assessed for language readiness before a placing decision; Mandarin is streamed and Korean language is offered as an elective.

2. Submit an Enquiry Form. Submit an enquiry to express interest and to arrange a personalised campus visit or online consultation with the College leadership team. Campus visits can be scheduled on weekdays from 8:30am and typically last about 1.5 hours. After submitting the enquiry, a member of the Admissions team will guide you on the next steps, including how to proceed with the online application and required documents.

3. Submit an Application Form. Applications are accepted throughout the year. To determine the appropriate Year Group, refer to the student age placement guide; as a general rule, the child should have reached the indicated age before 1 September of the application year. For questions about the process, contact the Admissions team at the provided phone number or email.

4. Assessments and Interviews. Applicants undergo assessments tailored to their year group: DUCKS (Nursery–Year 2) require a Confidential Observation Report from their class teacher, while Year 3–12 students complete the Cognitive Ability Test (CAT4) plus a 60-minute writing assignment; non-native English speakers may have an English as an Additional Language (EAL) assessment. Many applicants will also be interviewed by a member of the Primary or Senior School leadership team. Results and prior records are reviewed by the Academic team to determine readiness to access the curriculum.

5. Admissions Decision. After reviewing all application forms and documents, the Admissions Committee informs parents of the admission decision. The school is selective, and the decision considers academic ability as well as the student's social and emotional fit with the school community. In high-school entries (Year 10–13), applicants may be asked to discuss Subject Options and could be interviewed to assess alignment with course demands.

6. Overseas Candidates, Learning Support and Enrolment. For overseas candidates, the College can arrange entrance assessments at the candidate's current school, or provide provisional placements if interviews cannot be conducted in person; assessments may also be conducted online in extenuating circumstances. The school enrols students only when it can provide the necessary learning support, with the Admissions team coordinating all needed assessments and reviewing prior reports.

The College offers a 5% tuition discount for each extra child in a single family when three or more children are enrolled in full-day programmes. 4.
