International schools run about $20,000 per year for tuition + extra costs.

Options would depend on where you are working.

If you are at a hakwon, she can stay in the school during the day (attend classes with the kids) and then home school at your convenience.

IF you are in a PS, then she could/would attend the Korean classes as a regular student and you can supplement her classes in your breaks to make sure she stays up to date on the material.

IF you are from Canada then all the provinces offer a distance learning option for about $1000 per year. Your child can attend school and use the correspondence courses to stay up to date with classes at home.
http://www.aldc.ca is an example .
If you are from the states, home schooling / correspondence courses are still an option - just more expensive. http://www.calvertschool.org/home-school/ .

I don't know about home schooling / correspondence programs for students from the other 5 (E2) countries. I expect there should be something similar from AUS.
