Chadwick International, independent school in Songdo, Incheon, South Korea
Chadwick International is a school in the Songdo district of Incheon, South Korea, welcoming students from pre-kindergarten through high school. The campus is made up of several buildings that house classrooms alongside gymnasiums, tennis courts, a swimming pool, dance studios, and fitness spaces.
The school was founded in 2010 as an alternative to the traditional South Korean education system, drawing on the model of Chadwick School in California. It was built with strong support from the city of Incheon, which was developing Songdo as an international neighborhood.
The school community brings together students from many different countries, creating a diverse environment where different traditions are respected and celebrated. Korean customs blend naturally with international influences in daily activities, meals, and school events.
The school sits in Songdo, a modern district that is easy to reach by public transport. Anyone planning a visit should get in touch in advance, as access to the campus is generally limited to those with a confirmed appointment.
The school follows the International Baccalaureate program, which focuses on project-based learning and real-world questions rather than memorization. From grade 5 onward, students take part in regular outdoor trips that can range from short visits to nearby forests to multi-day mountain expeditions for older groups.
