Our classes also are small with an average of 6-14 students to ensure that each student is given plenty of individual attention.

We offer a weekly curriculum allowing our students to join us on any given Monday for any duration that best suits their timing.

Our students will have plenty of opportunities to enjoy both their studies and the many social activities organized by the school.

We have therefore formed a dedicated Student Services team who will be there to assist all of our students with their stay. We provide Airport Transfer services, a comprehensive Arrival Guide and the comfort of a 24/7 emergency line. As soon as the student has arrived at the school, we suggest that they put our Student Services team to work. Lexis Explore Here at Lexis Korea, we work hard and play hard! To ensure that our students make the most out of their time here in Seoul and Busan, our Student Services team arranges regular activities and day trips to introduce glimpses of South Korea and our culture to our fellow students. 7 Lexis Meet Up To encourage our students to mingle and socialize, we hold a Lexis Meet Up once every fortnight at a local café. For many students, the highlight of their stay is the Lexis Meet Up as it creates a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet and befriend local students and other international schoolmates within a friendly environment. Lexis Student Night On the last Friday of every month, Lexis Korea holds a dinner party, gathering both our international and Korean students. These monthly Student Nights have been known as the legendary night of bonding as they involve good food, beer and soju. As drinking is an important part of our culture, we figured the best way for us to introduce the Korean drinking culture and etiquette to our students is by putting knowledge to practice. We also have this compelling theory that alcohol brings people together. Since it removes all inhibitions and hence making communication easier, our students get to break the ice and get to know each other well, forging close friendships. Lexis Support Class We also provide Lexis Support Class every Tuesday afternoon to provide assistance to our students with any help they may require for their life outside of class; be it visa concerns, banking enquiries, and recommendations on places to go for lunch/dinner or simply looking to book K-pop concert tickets. 8 LEXIS KOREA Our Courses 9 KOREAN COURSES Lexis Korea offers a range of Korean language programs to meet the needs of language learners of all levels and abilities.
