After School Activities for Expat Kids

The international schools offer after-school programs, often based on the interests on the volunteers willing to teach them or on some special programs initiated by the school. However, school buses are not always available to take children home later than regular school hours. You’ll want to check with the school to see if the school bus in your area makes a later run.

Arts Lessons are available in every city in Korea, usually by Korean instructors, who will come to your home. Some speak more English than others. Your school will sometimes have a list of piano, violin, etc. teachers that may be available in your area or that would be willing to come to you.  As of 2009, there’s also a Kids’ Gallery in Hannam-dong, Seoul that offers all kinds of arts classes for children from pre-school age on up to teens.

For older children, there are group activities such as Scouts   including teams organised and coached by parents, as well as a wide range of other activities and places to go.

If you’re looking for a particular activity and can’t find it through a word search on this site, you can post your inquiry on the Korea4Expats Forum. You might also want to check previous posts to see what answers other parents who asked the same question earlier may have received.
