North London Collegiate School Jeju is a boarding school for girls and boys aged 4 to 18. We provide a stimulating and diverse experience in which every child is challenged and supported to realise their potential. We send confident, successful and caring young people to the world鈥檚 best universities.
Academic Excellence
Situated on UNESCO World Heritage island of Jeju, our proud history began in North London 174 years ago. Since 1850, NLCS UK has maintained its reputation for providing an outstanding education, consistently delivering some of the best academic results in the UK. Founded by Victorian pioneer of education, Frances Mary Buss, the vision of our founder remains true to this day and we are a school which believes fundamentally in what students 'can do'; we never place ceilings on them nor label them. Strong in tradition, yet forward-thinking and outward-looking, North London Collegiate Schools provide an ambitious academic education. NLCS Jeju's rigorous curriculum challenges students to think critically and to problem solve. We follow the NLCS model in its ethos and standards with a few small local differences.
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.
We follow IGCSE and IB Diploma, which are two of the most globally robust academic examination programmes available worldwide. All studies throughout the school are designed to prepare all our children for success in both. In 2023, passing students achieved an average IB Diploma score of an incredible 36 points. We are currently placed in the Top 70 Global IB Schools. This is an amazing achievement - and all the more so when you consider most of our students are non native English speakers. This is a true testament to the very high standards of teaching and learning.
Pastoral Care
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 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.
NLCS Jeju is now offering a full boarding experience from Junior School onwards. The highest standards of pastoral care will be maintained. Our staff ensure that every child is happy, comfortable and nurtured.
In addition, we are the winners of the 2023 International Schools Award 'Safeguarding' category.
Beyond The Classroom
In addition to the outstanding facilities we offer on campus, Jeju is home to a stimulating array of leisure activities. NLCS Jeju takes advantage of its rich, natural and cultural environment and students are encouraged to explore the fascinating island during school trips and co-curricular activities. We are very proud that each week a programme of more than 150 activities offers a wide variety of opportunities for all 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.
Universities care about the character of the young people they admit - what students do outside the classroom tells them a lot about the kind of student who is applying. Co curricular activities are the best way students can demonstrate how unique, interesting and accomplished they are and showcase where their passions lie. Through our co curricular programme, NLCS Jeju gives our students opportunities to develop characteristics such as leadership, initiative, commitment and many more.
NLCS Jeju students embody the idea that they really can Start here. Go anywhere.
