Many Korean students look to Baguio City, Philippines, for speaking-focused English study in an English-only environment at a reasonable price.
On September 16, 2026, API BECI International Academy met Korean education agencies in Seoul at the CALA & BESA Seminar 2026. Manager Sonny and Manager Chase represented BECI.
About the Seminar
CALA and BESA invited Korean agency partners to meet Cebu and Baguio school representatives face to face, hear school updates, and explore partnerships. The day included presentations, school booth sessions, lunch, and a lucky draw. Participating schools gave agencies a KRW 150,000 voucher each and raffled two weeks of free dormitory stay. Meeting in person lets agencies ask schools questions before recommending them to students.
BECI's Three Baguio Campuses
BECI has taught English in Baguio City since 2003 (BESA school page). Its three campuses suit different study styles:
EOP Campus: A full English Only Policy, international roommates, and speaking focused classes.
Sparta Campus: A structured, intensive routine with daily vocabulary tests, speaking practice, and IELTS and TOEIC preparation.
City Campus: Flexible study in downtown Baguio, including Unlimited ESL with up to eight one-on-one classes daily.
Why Baguio?
Baguio, the Summer Capital of the Philippines, is a long-standing destination for Korean English learners. Agencies often describe it as more affordable than other Philippine ESL cities. Ask BECI or your agency for current rates.
