Okpo International School
Okpo School is located in the township of Okpo, on the
island of Koje, in South Korea. It was established in 1987 and was
originally called the Daewoo Foreign School. It was establish by Daewoo
Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering to primarily provide education to
the foreign personnel working at the shipyard. The school now admits
children from all foreign families on the island.
The Okpo International School has expanded its
capacity in the last year and continues to grow. There are five
classrooms, a well-stocked library, art room, and an assembly hall
which is also used for PE. There are two offices, a staffroom, and
two teacher resource rooms. Other facilities include a minimum of
two computers in each classroom, 61-inch television with DVD, video
and computer input, a large playing area with static equipment and
small-sized football pitch and a well-equipped sports store.
The Okpo International School uses the International
Primary Curriculum alongside a modified English National Curriculum.
The highly skilled teachers are from the UK, Australia and New
Zealand, and all have had ESL experience.
The Okpo International School year runs from
September until June and with four terms. Fees are quoted per annum
but paid in two installments.
The school has a policy of a maximum of 15 children
per class because of the high numbers of children from different
countries with differing English speaking ability.
It is essential to register a child a least one
month before they can attend the Okpo International School. Parents
or companies planning to bring children to Okpo should request up to
date information on the availability of places in classes, full
details of the entry requirements and current school fees. These are
all available on the school web site.
