Did you know that a child who is 10 years of age in Korea is no more than 9 in the United States? That’s just one cultural tidbit that South Korean and American children at Bulloch Academy have learned from each other since school started in August. At first, 13 Korean students, U.S. ages 9-16, traveled from the Oedae Language School in Seoul to attend Bulloch Academy and stay with local families, most of whom have children of their own at BA. Ten of the Korean students returned home after five weeks.
