Does anyone have information or know of a where I can locate information on opening a private language school in Korea?

I was in Korea for 2 plus years and would like to go back and open the school. I have family there as my wife is Korean. I would like to set it up as a private business with the business license and obtain Korean Department of Education license / certificate if possible.

I was just looking for an insiders perspective.

Any information or comments would be most welcome.

Note: I have a masters degree, numerous certifications, and over 10 years teaching experience.

Just speculating but i'd imagine you would need upwards of 50 000 000 won.

based on my boss, all you need is money.
No knowledge of teaching or outright common sense is required.

ou'll need a minimum of 50,000,000 for the visa, although more is certainly better for re-sale value of the school.

Check out EFL-LAW. The owner of the site is opening his own school and is posting step by step everything he's done, updating it weekly. It's in a Sticky in the Business forum.

An interesting process for sure.
