ECLC exists primarily to provide Early Years and Primary Education for children of the international community in Seoul, Korea. ECLC includes foreign children of all races and creeds. In order to enter ECLC, children must be at least 2 1/2 years old and toilet trained. Children still wearing diapers or trainer pants of any sort will not be accepted.

ECLC maintains a rolling enrollment policy during the entire year. Children may enrol, in accordance to their age and subject to class availability, any time throughout the school year.

To be eligible for enrollment, a child must hold:
* A foreign passport and Certificate of Alien Registration, or
* Diplomatic status or
* SOFA status or its equivalent

The priorities for consideration for enrollment at ECLC are as follows:

1st Priority: Returning Students
   

2nd Priority: Siblings of students attending the school, if they meet the criteria under Priority 3
 

3rd Priority: Children with each parent holding; (a) a foreign passport and Certificate of Alien Registration or; (b) Diplomatic status or; (c) SOFA status or its equivalent
 
 

4th Priority: Siblings of students attending the school, if they meet the criteria under Priority 5
 

5th Priority: Children with one parent holding a foreign passport and Certificate of Alien Registration
 

Please Note:
Due to legislative changes effective as of March 2009, children with a foreign passport but whose parents both hold Korean passports are no longer eligible to apply to register at foreign/international schools. Children of this category already in attendance at ECLC prior to this legislative change are currently able to complete their international education at ECLC and legitimately transfer onto other foreign/international schools within Korea.
