Cheongna Dalton School (or CDS as it is commonly called) is a secular international private college preparatory school situated in Cheongna, Incheon, South Korea[1] offering an American curriculum following the Dalton Plan in an English-only setting.
Cheongna Dalton School first opened its doors to students on September 1, 2011 and has classes from pre-kindergarten to the 12th grade.
The present 46,200m2 (11.4 acres or 497.292 sq ft) site was selected to provide easy access to Korean families as well as expatriate families living in the Incheon area. Conveniently located in the Cheongna area (part of the western coast city of Incheon), CDS is about twenty-five minutes east of the Incheon International Airport and the Cheongna Subway Station. The city of Cheongna has been designated an Incheon Free Economic Zone (IFEZ) to transform this area into a hub for logistics, international business, leisure, and tourism for the Northeast Asian region.
The Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), based in California, accredited Cheongna Dalton School for a six-year term on July 2, 2012. As a condition of attending the school, a student is required to have at least one parent who holds a foreign passport, or the student must have been out of the country of Korea for more than 1,095 days at the time of enrollment.[2]
