North London Collegiate School Jeju

North London Collegiate School Jeju Island
North London Collegiate School Jeju is one of the most prestigious schools within Korea. As a boarding school, NLCS Jeju offers an immersive educational environment that gives their students the opportunity to also hone their social skills and interact with a wide range of students from countries all across the globe. Students learn how to problem solve and live independently, preparing them for any future obstacle they may face.
NLCS Jeju is an award winning boarding and day School located on the UNESCO world heritage site island of Jeju in South Korea. The School offers a British education to students who achieve higher than world average results and secure offers at prestigious universities around the world.

The School stands on three Pillars. Academic Scholarship, Pastoral Care and Beyond the Curriculum.

Academic Scholarship
At NLCS Jeju students are encouraged to find a love of life long learning. NLCS Jeju’s founding school has maintained its reputation for providing an outstanding education, consistently delivering some of the best academic results in the UK. NLCS Jeju continues this success and ethos in Jeju. We recruit some of the best teachers from around the world; they are highly qualified and inspire their students to discover a love of learning that will last a lifetime. Teachers are carefully selected for their love of their subject and spend time at NLCS UK to ensure they share the NLCS school ethos. They encourage students to explore beyond curriculum boundaries and discover their own passions. The school feels busy and purposeful, with warm and respectful relationships developed between staff and students and between the students themselves. It is a place where everyone matters. NLCS Jeju offers an exceptional education for boys and girls. We use the diamond model which offers the benefits of a single-sex education while at the same time encouraging boys and girls to grow together outside of the classroom. From ages 4-11 boys and girls share classrooms, from ages 11 – 16 students are educated separately and in the Sixth Form they come back together. The best of all worlds.
Pastoral Care
A happy, healthy child is a successful child
Our school ethos is similar to that of the world’s most progressive and successful schools. We believe that by supporting students in every aspect of their lives, and removing all barriers to learning, they will perform to their full potential. We address any issue that can affect a child’s learning with conviction, professionalism and purpose. We also ensure that our students have a balanced approach to their school years which includes appropriate levels of sleep, exercise, social activity and academic pursuits. We therefore advise against extra-tuition in evenings, weekends and holidays.
Our pastoral system is typical of successful British boarding schools. Every student, day or boarder, is a member of a House that provides a sense of belonging and identity to all its members. All faculty staff are members of a House and support in the academic and pastoral development of students in that House. The House is much, much more than a physical building! It is the family that provides the opportunities, support and challenge for all NLCS Jeju students to be happy and successful. Positive, lifelong relationships are made in Houses that serve students during and beyond their time at NLCS Jeju. Aspects of the House system are also relevant to the Junior School, where Houses concentrate on developing the individual. This is a vertical system which results in greater community cohesion.
Boarding
Students are encouraged to live on campus in one of the seven purpose built and modern boarding homes. Each home has spacious living areas, a team of dedicated staff to support students and is a home away from home. Students in boarding will learn essential life skills which prepare them for university life, including independent living, time management and resilience. Academic support is provided in the evening and weekends, including an Academic Enhancement Programme provided by teachers. On the weekends a range of leisure activities are offered.
Beyond the Curriculum

An amazing beyond the curriculum programme.

NLCS Jeju is like no other school in the region when it comes to co-curricular activities; we are very proud that each week more than 150 activities offer a wide variety of opportunities for our students. In just one week students might participate in student led House competitions, after-school activities, Academic Societies, the unique Saturday morning ‘Bryant’ programme, ambitious school productions, successful sports squads and magical musical events. The opportunities to show commitment, leadership and to try out new things are never-ending.

Students receive offers from Top 100 universities including the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford, Stanford University, Imperial College London, the National University of Singapore. University College London and the University of California.
