Are there Chinese language elementary schools in South Korea


Are there Chinese language elementary schools in South Korea?
I have a Chinese daughter, attending public school in Shanghai, PRC. I am about to move to South Korea for a work assignment... Are there "Chinese Schools" in Korea is what I'm trying to figure out...

There are no international schools that offer full Chinese immersion. At the public school level, I think the best you'll be able to do is find a school that focuses on foreign languages and have part of the day in immersion. Good luck.

In primary and secondary schools and universities (public and private) in South Korea, there are classes that teaches Chinese, Japanese and English, as well as Korean. You will find these in metropolises and large cities, particularly in Seoul and Busan. Your daughter can speak Chinese, is that correct? How old is she now? If she can speak and write Chinese, I encourage you to go speak with the principal of the desired school about giving her Chinese language analysis test first to see what is her level of proficiency in Chinese language. If possible, you may also need to ask whether she can attend Chinese language class in at least an intermediate level after the testing determines what level is she in right now. I hope this helps you with your question. Good luck!
