  • [Joongang Ilbo – Home&] a University Campus? No, It's an International School to Debut in Incheon
    [JoongAng Ilbo – home&] A university campus? No, it’s an international school to debut in Incheon Tip: How does an international school differ from a foreign school? Chadwick International, which will open this fall, is an international school. To be more precise, it is a foreign educational institution, which differs from a foreign school. Unlike an international school, which will debut for the first time in the nation, there are some 20 foreign schools in Seoul alone. As for admission, an international school can accept local students up to 30% of its quota while a foreign school can only admit locals who have lived overseas for over three years. Also, a local school corporation is eligible to set up a foreign school while an international school is only established by a foreign education school corporation. A reporter visited Chadwick International, with a couple of experts specializing school architecture. A prestigious foreign private institution has finally arrived in Korea. And that is Chadwick International in Songdo International City that has been established, in accordance with “The Special Laws on Establishment and Operations of Foreign Educational Institution.” Its annual tuition fees reach more than KRW 30 million, and its unique building structure and design seems to be a grand preview of what to be offered. “The school has been designed to facilitate our primary education goal through the state-of-art facility features and carefully- customized classrooms for kids,” R. Warmington, President and CEO of Chadwick International, said. Most prestigious private education institutions stress that education starts from the very stage, at which a school building is designed, not from the school curriculum.

  • Choosing the Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing the Right Location
    Choosing The Right Location Page 1 of 4 Choosing The Right Location Geography The Korean Peninsula lies in the north-eastern part of the Asian continent. It is bordered to the north by Russia and China, to the east by the East Sea and Japan, and to the west by the Yellow Sea. In addition to the mainland, South Korea comprises around 3,200 islands. At 99,313 sq km, the country is slightly larger than Austria. It has one of the highest population densities in the world, after Bangladesh and Taiwan, with more than 50% of its population living in the country’s six largest cities. Korea has a history spanning 5,000 years and you will find evidence of its rich and varied heritage in the many temples, palaces and city gates. These sit alongside contemporary architecture that reflects the growing economic importance of South Korea as an industrialised nation. In 1948, Korea divided into North Korea and South Korea. North Korea was allied to the, then, USSR and South Korea to the USA. The divide between the two countries at Panmunjom is one of the world’s most heavily fortified frontiers.

Climate South Korea has a temperate climate, with four distinct seasons. Spring, from late March to May, is warm, while summer, from June to early September is hot and humid.

  • Aseema Annual Report “Let Us Think Of
    “Let us think of education as the means of developing our greatest abilities, because in each of us there is a private hope and dream which, fulfilled, can be translated into benefit for everyone.” — John F. Kennedy Aseema Annual Report 2015–16 Pushing Boundaries For the past 19 years Aseema Charitable Trust has been providing high quality education to children from marginalized communities. Students at Aseema are encouraged to explore different ways of thinking, questioning and analyzing; believing that they can maximize their potential. They are nurtured with the spirit of competing with oneself, respecting the rights of others, recognizing individual differences and thereby becoming confident young individuals. India, more now than at any other time, needs our young population to be well educated with the right values — young people who think beyond just themselves and who will truly serve the nation. Aseema’s Annual report 2015-16 introduces you to the faces, smiles, curious eyes and passionate hearts of our children who strive to push their boundaries each day. As we continue our work, taking children forward from what they learn today to fulfilling their dreams tomorrow, we thank all of you who have been part of this memorable journey. Over the past fifteen years, Aseema has been working closely with the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) in creating centres of excellence within the public education system. Our relationship with the MCGM has enabled us reach out to a greater number of children from marginalized communities. Through a Public Private Partnership with the (MCGM), we have adopted three Municipal schools in Mumbai — the Pali Chimbai Municipal School, the Santacruz (W) Municipal School and the Kherwadi Municipal School.

  • Tsunami Project Update
    ISB NETWORK NEWS Volume 47 April 2006 HM King Bhumiphol Adulyadej By Mom Bongkojpriya (Betty) Yugala ([email protected]) On the second day after my arrival in Thailand, back in April 1966, I was taken to Hua Hin to be presented to His Majesty as a new member of the royal family. My husband’s aunt had prepared the traditional flowers and incense that I had to present to His Majesty as a gesture of loyalty, and I was prepped on the protocol. Although so nervous that I hardly could take it all in, I remember the scene at Klaikangwol (“Far From Worries”) Palace, very vividly. Feeling very close to worry and very nervous at the time, I thought the palace was inaccurately named. We all prostrated ourselves in front of him, and with my relatives’ help, I handed the traditional items to HM, along with a few albums of Jazz music that I had purchased back in the States, and had prepared for the occasion. Looking intently at me, he asked my husband, in Thai, of course, whether I could speak the language. But, being able to at least understand what was being said, I blurted, “Not yet, Your Majesty”. He smiled, laughed and commented that I would learn fast. But I wondered, at first, whether he had really accepted me, because in my youth and ignorance I felt uncomfortable when he made it a point not to speak to me in English, one of the languages he speaks fluently. It took me a long time to realize that by speaking to me only in Thai, he was showing his acceptance of me as a new member of the family.
