British Intl Kindergarten opens school in Cheongdam-dong

British International Kindergarten (BIK), a kindergarten providing British-style education for Korean and expat children, has opened a school in Cheongdam, Seoul.

BIK Cheongdam is ideally located in an attractive and exclusive district of Seoul. It is the sister campus to BIK Hannam, located across the river in Hannam-dong. It is open to students from two to seven years of age.

Emphasis is placed on the main areas of developmental learning for young children, but this is also modified to meet the needs of the young children who are learning English as a second (or sometimes third) language.

As well as preparing children for an understanding and appreciation of the world at large, the school also teaches the values, good manners, appropriate behavior, courtesy, confidence and respect.

The curriculum is based on the well-respected National Curriculum of England and Wales.
