Space Available Explanation:

At the time of enrollment, non-command sponsored children will be placed on a "Space Available" list. Children who attended the previous school year will have priority. The remaining available slots will be filled based on the date that the Sponsor arrived in Korea.

Therefore, it is imperative that if you bring your family in a Space Available status, you be prepared to provide for your children's education in accordance with Federal Law. The options here in Korea include home schooling (you provide the curriculum), and the International Christian School (ICS). ICS is a highly regarded private Christian Academy with a $900.00 per month tuition, plus $100 per month bus fee (both per child) if you do not provide transportation.

Please contact us if you have any other questions that we can assist you with. A tour at Osan Air Base can be a very memorable experience for the entire family as long as you plan ahead.
