Introducing Seoul Providence School

What If the Right School Didn’t Come With the Wrong Price?

A growing number of expat families in Seoul are discovering a new education path — one built around values, community, and affordability.

Why more parents are feeling stuck between bad fits and big bills

A Quiet Crisis for Expat Families in Korea

  • Korean public schools offer no faith formation, limited support for foreigners.

  • International schools can cost over ₩30 million/year — and many expats pay out of pocket.

  • Homeschooling? Amazing in theory, but overwhelming in practice.


“It started to feel like quality education just wasn’t accessible unless we compromised our values or went into debt.”

The School That Was Missing — Until Now

SPS is an international Christian middle school in Seoul offering values-based, academically rigorous, and financially accessible education.

  • 📖 Christ-centered curriculum

  • 📘 U.S.-aligned academics (Massachusetts-based standards)

  • 🤝 Small class sizes, tight community

  • 🧑🏫 English-speaking faculty

  • 🏫 Central Seoul campus (Yongsan)

  • 💡 Open to all families who align with our mission

Excellence + Mission — Without the Price Tag

Most international schools in Korea charge ₩25M–₩35M/year. SPS’s lean model and church partnerships allow us to deliver an elite education at a fraction of the cost.

  • International Schools

  • 💰 25–35M KRW/year

  • ❌ Often secular, mixed messaging

  • 🏫 K–12 with less middle school focus

  • 📉 Less personal parent influence

  • Seoul Providence School

  • 💰 12–15M KRW/year

  • ✅ Christ-centered and mission-aligned

  • 🎯 Middle school only = more attention

  • 🧠 Founding families shape the experience
