    School System : International schools in Korea have a U.S.-style educational system from kindergarten to 12th grade courses. In Korean schools, however, children less than 7 years old usually go to kindergartens, those ages from 7 to 12 to elementary schools of 6 years; and those ages from 13 to 15 to middle school of 3 years; and those ages from 16 to 18 to high schools of 3 years. Therefore, 7th grade of an international school is the same as first grade of a middle school in Korea. Likewise, a 12th grader of an international school is the same as a 3-year student of a high school in Korea. After high school course, Korean students take a Korean-version of SAT (similar as one in the U.S.) for university or college entrance. Some students who chose a high school of commercial studies either start to work right after high school graduation or take university entrance exam.
