Outdoor Education

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]
