When my child goes in, he should be smiling. And when he comes out he should be smiling. One remarkable thing that I noticed at SIS is that all the children, all the staff are smiling. They're happy! They Look happy.

We appreciate that an investment in private education is an investment into your child's and family's future. Here at Seoul International School we pride ourselves on maximizing the return on that investment. We ensure your child receives the best possible education provided by highly qualified educators.

Late Payment Charge and Currency for Payment
If any payment is delayed beyond the applicable due date, a late payment charge at five percent (5%) per annum will be added on the unpaid amount until the unpaid amount has been fully paid. Late charges shall be paid in the currency requested by the date shown on the relevant invoice.

Refund Policy

  • Refunded tuition will be prorated by the number of attended school days and it shall be deducted from the payment amount except for the re-enrollment or enrollment payment. The refunded amount will be made in the currency used for payment.
  • Bus fees may be refunded and the amount shall be prorated based on remaining number of school days.
  • Refunds are wire transferred or given to parents, or their authorized representative.
  • Refund Policy for Early Withdrawals is invalid in the event of a Force Majeure that causes a student or students to withdraw from the school. No portion of tuition and fees already paid for the school year will be refunded, and unpaid fees will be due payable. Force Majeure is defined as an event such as war, civil strife, labor unrest, earthquakes, nuclear disaster or extreme weather conditions that cannot be reasonably anticipated or controlled. This policy is deemed necessary to ensure financial stability of the school and its continued operations subsequent to any such event.

Non-Refundable School Fees

The following fees are not refundable:

  • Application Fee
  • Registration Fee
  • (Re)enrollment Fee
  • Installment Fee

Late Entry Payment Arrangements

For those students who joins us later in the year we have a prorated payment system. Tuition less the enrollment fee will be pro rata based on the number of school days remaining for students entering SIS after the first day of school.
