Our curriculum and ambitious academic ethos, together with our extensive co-curricular programme, reflect our close links with NLCS in London and provide a high quality British Independent School education in an international setting.
The spirit of NLCS Jeju is one of high energy and achievement.

We believe that NLCS Jeju is a unique opportunity for teachers.

With its temperate climate, stunning natural scenery, array of rare and endangered wildlife and welcoming beaches, it is a fascinating and breathtaking environment in which to live.
Whilst we enjoy excellent facilities in a prime location, it is our people that make the School a special place.
