The infant school is the first of a group opening in the exciting modern city of Seoul, South Korea. Located in a brand new building, staffed and resourced to the highest standards; no expense will be spared to make this the leading infant school in the country.

Sandwiched between China and Japan, Korea is a country with its own unique and distinctive language, culture and food. It is a small country (about the size of Portugal) being 500km from North to South and only 216km wide at its narrowest point.

Seventy percent of the land is forest covered mountains although they are not high (highest peak is 1950m). The country has a pleasant climate with four distinct seasons that roughly follow the timing of those in the UK. Spring and autumn are warm and sunny, whilst the monsoon season occurs during summer, when it can get hot and humid. The winters can be very cold with snowfall common supporting numerous well-equipped ski resorts operating in the northern half of the country.
