Using data for elementary and middle school students from the base surveys of the Gyeonggi Education Panel Study, this study examined how parents’ experience of sending their child to an English kindergarten influenced the type of middle or high school that they planned to send their child. The primary focus was on international middle schools and special purpose/autonomous high schools. We found that parents who had sent their child to an English kindergarten were more likely to plan to send their child to an international middle school and a special purpose/autonomous high school, respectively, as opposed to a general middle school or general high school, even after controlling for other variables. Results suggest that sending their child to an English kindergarten may be part of parents’ long-term plan to put their child into so-called “elite schools,” implying the beginning of social stratification at a very early stage of life.
