Life on JEJU

Life on JEJU

Jeju Island is one of the most popular tourist destinations in South Korea. With breathtaking scenic views, Jeju Island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site surrounded by natural beauty and culture. Mount Halla rises in the center of the island to 1950 meters and is the highest mountain of South Korea.

Due to its mild climate and semi-tropical nature, the island is a hub of wetlands, national parks, and forests, perfect for trekking. Hiking on Halla mountain is especially beautiful during the winter season when the snow covers the full horizon. The island is also famous for its strong winds, which attract many windsurfers. In late summer, residents and travelers are sometimes affected by tropical cyclones that pass by the island.

On most days, life on Jeju is peaceful and quiet. Branksome is situated within the Global Education City (GEC), a family-friendly and safe neighborhood that offers easy access to restaurants, bakeries, and cafes. Large supermarkets are located within a 25-minute drive of the school.

In addition to its exotic and scenic views, Jeju Island offers a variety of outdoor activities including: hiking, horseback riding, paragliding, mountain climbing, scuba diving, windsurfing, surfing and golfing.
