Westminster Canadian Academy is the Canadian system option among the international schools serving the Seoul area and appears on our Seoul city hub. Based in Gwacheon just south of the capital, it delivers Canadian curricula in English to a mixed community of Canadian, Korean and other international families.
This is an independent reference page. GlobalSchoolGuide takes no payment for coverage, and the school is listed because families who want a Canadian route near Seoul genuinely consider it. We researched the facts below from the school and public sources at the time of writing, and where a detail such as the founding year or fee schedule is not confidently findable we mark it as not published rather than guess.
At a glance
Curriculum and academics
The academy follows a Canadian curriculum across the elementary, middle and secondary years, taught in English. A Canadian programme suits families moving to or from Canada who want continuity, and it is recognised by universities in Canada and internationally.
Canadian secondary programmes lead towards a provincial high school diploma, and families should confirm which provincial curriculum the school delivers and how the credits transfer when they enquire. Our Canadian curriculum guide explains how the grades and credits are structured and how the diploma is read by universities.

Westminster Canadian Academy fees
Westminster Canadian Academy does not publish its fees openly, so we do not state a figure and instead point families to our Seoul international school fees guide for context on the wider market. Any number you see on a third party site should be treated as indicative until the school confirms it.
As at any international school, the annual budget usually reaches beyond tuition to registration, a deposit, meals, transport and activities. Families comparing the full cost of secondary places across the wider Seoul area can use the Seoul secondary fees reference alongside our compare tool.
Admissions
Admission depends on space in the relevant grade, previous school reports and an English readiness assessment where needed. With a student body that includes native English speakers from Canada alongside Korean and other international students, the school is used to enrolling families arriving from abroad.
Places at the popular entry points can be limited, so relocating families should contact the admissions office early, share recent school records and ask directly about availability in your child’s grade.
Location and who goes there
The school sits in Gwacheon, a city immediately south of Seoul that is connected to the capital by the metro, which suits families who want a Canadian school within reach of central Seoul but prefer a quieter setting outside the core districts.
The community mixes Canadian expatriate families with Korean and other international households choosing a Canadian, English medium route. For the wider view of where international families settle across the city, see the Seoul city hub.
Reviews
We do not yet hold verified parent reviews for Westminster Canadian Academy, so we do not show a star rating. GlobalSchoolGuide is independent and no school pays to be listed, and we publish reviews only once we can confirm they come from real families. If your child attends the academy, your first hand account of the Canadian programme, the teaching and the admissions experience would help the next family arriving near Seoul. Share it through the school reviews hub.
