The British Council Korea currently has three YL Teaching Centres in Seoul. 
The Young Learners’ operation is based in three locations – a 7-classroom Young Learners Branch in the historical centre of Seoul to the north of the Han river near the Seoul City Hall, and two Young Learner branches to the south of the river: a 7 classroom Young Learners branch in Mokdong and a 7-classroom Young Learners branch in Seocho. We currently have more than 2,300 Young Learners studying with us with growth planned for the future. More information about the courses we offer can be found on our homepage.
