The IB Advantage at Branksome Hall Asia – A Seamless Journey from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12

Location: Jeju Island, South Korea

Grade Range: Junior Kindergarten Prep – Grade 12

At Branksome Hall Asia, education is transformative—preparing students not only for exams but for life beyond the classroom. As Jeju’s only full-continuum International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, we offer a rigorous, globally recognized curriculum that fosters intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and real-world readiness.



A Curriculum Designed for Depth and Discovery

Primary Years Programme (PYP | Ages 3–11)
 Young learners explore through inquiry-based learning, connecting classroom lessons to the wider world. Transdisciplinary themes inspire curiosity and a lifelong love of learning.

Middle Years Programme (MYP | Ages 11–16)
 Students deepen interdisciplinary understanding and hone critical thinking skills, preparing for the academic challenges of the Diploma Programme.

Diploma Programme (DP | Ages 16–19)
 Globally recognized by leading universities, the DP combines rigorous coursework with independent research, cultivating resilience, intellectual independence, and academic excellence.

Why the IB Stands Apart

Research shows IB students are better prepared for university, with higher acceptance rates at top schools and many earning advanced standing or credits. Beyond academics, the IB cultivates:

  • Global Perspective: Students engage with diverse viewpoints to navigate an interconnected world.

  • Real-World Relevance: Learning extends beyond textbooks to contemporary issues and practical applications.

  • Holistic Development: Creativity, service, and physical well-being are integral parts of the experience.

A Broad and Balanced Education

Students study:

  • Core disciplines including English, Mathematics, Sciences, and Humanities

  • Languages with Korean, Chinese, and mother tongue support

  • The Arts: Visual Arts, Music, Drama, Digital Design

  • Technology & Innovation, integrated across all subjects

Preparing for What Comes Next

The IB is more than a university pathway—it’s a foundation for leadership and lifelong learning. At Branksome Hall Asia, we empower students to think independently, act ethically, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
