Chadwick International (Korean: 채드윅송도국제학교 or 채드윅 국제학교 and often called CI))[1] is a PK-12,[2] coeducational, nonsectarian, non-profit, independent, international day school located in the Songdo International City, Republic of Korea.[3] The curriculum is based on the International Baccalaureate (IB) program and received PYP, MYP, DP, and CP accreditations. It is currently run by the Roessler-Chadwick Foundation and is named after Chadwick School in Palos Verdes, California, United States. The school has three divisions, which are the Village School (PK-G5), the Middle School (G6-8), and the Upper School (G9-12).
Chadwick International was founded in 2010 with a 150 billion won (US$135 million) investment by the Incheon Metropolitan City government[4] as part of the $40+ billion Songdo International Business District.
Chadwick International is a member school of KAIAC (Korean-American Interscholastic Activities Conference) among 17 other international schools located in South Korea, and competes in a variety of sports against members of the KAIAC school league.
The school has two indoor gymnasiums equipped with a rock-climbing wall, an athletic field, a running track, five tennis courts, courtyard, football field, an indoor 25m pool along with a dance studio and a weight training room.[5]
Chadwick International offers a variety of sports[6] available to students, with some that allow for students to continue off season practices and participate in competitions all year.
Chadwick International has also begun an outdoor education program like its sister school, Chadwick School. Chadwick International's Outdoor Education (OE) Program allows for students from Grade 5 to Grade 12 to explore the outdoors in various locations within Korea, progressively lengthening the trip as the students rise in grade level.[7]
During the 20–21 school year, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Chadwick International hosted its Outdoor Education within Songdo International City, with activities planned around local parks and tents set up inside campus.[8]
