Hi all,
I was interesting about a Go school but I didn't find anything information about them.
I live in Europe but if school dosen't existnear my country I'd like to have some information about schools around the world :)

Do you know where I can find any info?

Thank you ^^

Do you mean an ordinary school with some Go lesson or a school exclusively for Go or is any Go teaching what you want?

There are many go schools in S. Korea. Benjamin Teuber studied at one and wrote about it on this Sensei's Library page: http://senseis.xmp.net/?InAKoreanBadukSchool. Feng Yun 9p has a go school in the USA. Here is a link to her web page: http://www.fengyungoschool.com/ I don't know of any go schools in Europe but if there are none maybe you could start one.

it would be useful to post where in Europe do you reside, unless you treat it as a homogenous country :)

there used to be a go school in Budapest, lead by Kim Sung Rae, but it closed down and Mr. Kim moved to a new location in Barcelona. no idea how is it going there. and according to senseis, another teacher went to teach in Stockholm

i also think Hwang In-seong does some teaching in Switzerland, but probably doesn't run a full-time school as are those in Asia

i would also recommend to write to your national go association, their info on local go schools could well complement what you learn here
