Step 1: Check Eligibility

Hyundai Foreign School (HFS) is an all-denominational “foreign school” with an open admission policy that admits students meeting eligibility requirements and criteria established by the Korea Ministry of Education.

No students will be refused admission on the grounds of race, religion, colour, national origin, ancestry, genetic information, sexual orientation and gender identity or expression.

Eligible students can enrol at the school on a rolling basis throughout the academic year.

HFS abides by the provisions of the following laws and regulations of the Republic of Korea in admitting students:

 

1-1. In accordance with the provisions of the laws and regulations outlined above, students who meet any of the following criteria are eligible to enrol at HFS

• A student having one or more parents holding a nationality that is not South Korean as verified by an alien registration card and Korean family registry.
• A student who has lived overseas for no less than 3 years (1,095 days) as verified by the “Entry and Exit Certificate” issued by the Korean immigration department. (The stay does not have to be consecutive 3 years.)
• A student with 6 semesters (American schools) or 9 terms (British schools) of official report cards and a letter of attendance from an overseas school for 3 years.

 

1-2. Student Placement

• Students are classified according to age based on the UK system (September 1st cutoff) and are placed into age-based classes
• The School may place students in non-age-based classes if it is felt that this would better suit their educational needs
• Parents may request that the school consider placing a student in a non-age-based class but the final decision remains with the school
• All decisions relating to student placement are the responsibility of the Principal

 

1-3. Admission of Students with Special Educational Needs

• The School will only enrol students with Special Educational Needs if it is felt that appropriate support can be provided to allow the student to benefit from the educational program on offer without affecting the quality of education provided to other students
• The School requires Parents to provide complete and accurate information regarding a Student’s Special Educational Needs during the application process. 
• The School will consider enrolling Students with Special Educational Needs for whom Parents provide additional support in the form of a self-funded Special Educational Needs Assistant
• Special Educational Needs Assistants must be approved by the School and take part in all relevant Child Protection Training and Checks

 

1-4. English Language Requirements/Accepting Students with Low Levels of English

HFS has no English language proficiency requirements for admission and accepts students regardless of their English language level.

At our school the language of instruction is English and students are expected to use English at all times, both inside and outside the classroom.  We do however accept that a student’s home country’s language is an important part of their identity and students are not reprimanded for speaking their native language.

HFS also provides extra support lessons with a dedicated EAL teacher to help students identified as needing extra assistance.

Step 3: Fees

School Fee Payments are arranged directly with the Admin Office.

HFS is a non-profit school, with 100% of all fees being spent to run the school. School fees include exercise books and most buses for trips, PE, etc. Occasionally, teachers need to collect payment for specific class activities.

Registration Fee	A non-refundable Registration fee is charged to all new applicants. Payment of this fee guarantees that a place will be kept vacant for up to six months from the payment date.
Annual Tuition Fee	Hyundai Foreign School operates on a three-term basis and invoices for school fees will be issued three times each year, approximately one calendar month prior to the payment date. Payment, in Korean won, must be made prior to the commencement of each school term. Invoices will be issued to parents three times during the school year.
Late Payments	A penalty of 5% will be applied to payments received after the commencement of the term. A student whose tuition fee is outstanding 20 school days after the commencement of the school term will be unable to attend school until the termly fee is paid.
Partial Payments	New pupils entering the school more than 20 school days into a term will be charged on a pro-rata basis.
Hyundai Heavy Industries Discount	Students with a parent working with Hyundai Heavy Industries receive a discount on tuition fees. This discount applies to all Hyundai employees and employees of companies whose work is directly related to Hyundai. For example, all employees of class societies and ship owners qualify for the lower tuition rate.
Refunds	Children leaving the school permanently during a term will be entitled to receive a refund on a pro-rata basis. If the leaving date is within the last 20 school days of the term, no refund will be given. In the event that a student is leaving and less than 2 weeks’ notice is given, HFS reserves the right to withhold the tuition fee refund.
