I'm a parent and concerned about my child going abroad on their own - Please tell me more about how they will be cared for?
While some of our cultural activities may include trips to establishments that serve alcohol we preselect our places and always pick a safe environment for our students. The legal drinking age in Korea is 19 and both establishments and our team will ensure that no underage students will be allowed to drink alcohol. Whilst Korea is one of the safest countries in the world, we understand that you may still have some concerns. For this reason, we have a homestay option, this not only gives a great environment for full cultural immersion but gives you the peace of mind that your son or daughter is being looked after in a family environment.

All information can be found on their website here including information how to apply for a visa if you require one. Please note that if you do require a visa we are unable to help you with this.
