Location: Branksome Hall Asia
Branksome Hall Asia is located on the island of Jeju, South Korea. This island is known for its scenic beaches, green countryside and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Renowned for its volcanic landscapes, the island is dominated by the iconic Hallasan, South Korea’s highest peak and the centerpiece of Hallasan National Park. Jeju’s coastline is adorned with stunning beaches, dramatic cliffs, and the otherworldly Manjanggul Cave, formed by ancient lava flows.
The island’s vibrant culture is evident in its charming villages, where traditional thatched-roof houses, known as “hanok,” stand in harmony with modern developments.
Jeju is also famous for its female divers, known as “haenyeo,” who skillfully free-dive into the frigid waters to harvest seafood, carrying on a centuries-old tradition.

I have been a school-level user of Schrole for recruiting for the last three hiring cycles and have found the platform they provide to be intuitive and comprehensive. The user interface stands out from others in the market as a crisp interface with the right level of features included at the right places. For me, the top two features are the ability to create school-specific application questions for applicants, and the availability of a short and long form applicant documentation PDF. If you’re looking for a recruiting platform, I highly recommend considering Schrole.
