About North London Collegiate School Jeju
NLCS Jeju was the first NLCS International School to open its doors in 2011. It is located on the island of Jeju, in South Korea, but its proud heritage is from the United Kingdom, where in 1850 education pioneer Frances Mary Buss established the North London Collegiate School.
In just a few years NLCS Jeju has earned a reputation as one of the most prestigious and successful schools in East Asia. IB Diploma results are outstanding and the school’s graduates are attending some of the world’s leading universities, including Oxbridge and Ivy League colleges.
In keeping with the NLCS philosophy, the curriculum is aspirational and provides significant academic challenge for students. Students sit iGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11 and follow the IB Diploma Programme through Years 12 and 13.
NLCS Jeju offers a highly competitive salary and benefits package including accommodation, flights, health insurance and free places at the school for teachers’ children.
Location
The school is located on the picturesque island of Jeju, in South Korea, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is also the first international school to be opened as part of the Global Education City on Jeju Island, which is becoming the centre of English education in Korea and the pre-eminent educational hub of Asia.
Jeju Island, 130km off the southern coast of the Korean peninsula, is often described as one of Asia’s best-kept secrets. Jeju’s temperate climate, natural scenery and beaches make it a popular tourist destination for South Koreans as well as visitors from other parts of East Asia.

It also brings the opportunity to connect with the wider and expanding family of NLCS schools, one of the most respected international school groups globally. At the heart of our educational philosophy are the three pillars of what makes a NLCS education distinctive and transformative; truly individual pastoral care; an academically rigorous and ambitious curriculum; and a rich co-curricular life that includes academic societies, leadership opportunities, sport, music, drama, and the creative arts. Together, they create an environment where students flourish not only as scholars, but as thoughtful, compassionate and confident young people. We look forward to receiving your application, and to welcoming you into this remarkable community.
