Chadwick International (CI), a K-12 school in Songdo, Incheon, said Wednesday that it is beginning a boarding program this month to help students have a residential life experience.
“The CI Residential Life program is designed to offer the Chadwick experience to a more diverse student population,” said Shelly Luke Wille, head of CI.
“The program will encourage students to prepare for college life and beyond through the CI mission. Students will be immersed in a warm environment where their social, academic and emotional needs will be supported.”
Chadwick students applying for the boarding program will reside on the discrete and secure floors of the Incheon Global Campus (IGC) Guest House dedicated only for them.
Since the guest house is located 3 kilometers from the CI campus, buses will carry students to the school.
The students will be divided by gender and age and use double rooms equipped with private bathrooms.
The guest house also has an open study hall and a kitchenette.
Two on-site Chadwick faculty members will provide mentoring and academic support for students while taking care of them.
During weekends, students will be able to take part in various programs in which they visit museums nearby, watch sporting events and go to the movies.
The school plans to accommodate about 40 students from 9th to 12th grade.
“We are able to increase the number of students if there is a higher demand,” said Im Seon-sook, a communications associate official at the school.
The annual cost of the program including room and meals (breakfast and dinner) and transportation is 16 million won.
