Is homeschooling legal for foreigners in Korea? What are the regulations, and how do I ensure my children's education is recognized?
1 Answer
Korea has compulsory education and homeschooling isn't formally recognized for Korean citizens, but foreign children aren't bound by the same compulsory rules, so families commonly use international schools, accredited online programs, or a foreign curriculum at home. For your children's education to be recognized later, use an accredited overseas program and keep thorough records, and check requirements with your embassy. International schools are the simplest path for formal recognition.
