Seoul - School Report Question and Answers

What is the approximate teacher-to-student ratio in the grades that your child attended?

I don't know it "officially" but in my kids' classes it is 12:1 and 14:1. - May 2016


I am not sure of the number but my children seem very hapy with their classes. I know there are 17 students in my ES child's class. - Nov 2015


Depends of the grade level, but generally, each class has two full-time classroom teachers, and the biggest class is about 16 students or so (preschool level). The kindergarten might have one main classroom teacher for a class of 10-12 people and one more "floater" teacher who floats between the two classes. Toddlers have 14 students with two classroom teachers plus all the additional "special" teachers, such as Library, PE, and Music. - Oct 2015


Depends on class. About 1 teacher for 10-15 children. Sometimes they split up a class and do two activities, then switch, so the ratio is cut in half. - May 2015


Not sure what it is officially. In my kids' classes, it was about 24-1. - Feb 2015
