St. Johnsbury Academy just announced a new partnership with the Republic of Korea.

The Academy was selected to establish and operate an international school in the Jeju Global Education City, an island off the coast of South Korea.

"We are deeply honored to be selected by the JDC to help them establish a world-class international school in such a beautiful part of the world," Headmaster Tom Lovett said in a press release. "We are confident that St. Johnsbury's comprehensive curriculum and personalized approach to instruction, which has been so attractive to international students for decades, will make St. Johnsbury-Jeju Academy a successful addition to the global education city."

It will open in the fall of 2015 and will teach grades 4-12.

St. Johnsbury was selected from hundreds of U.S. schools.

The new school's focus will primarily be on college prep and will be taught entirely in English.
