This study is to seek for the characteristics and problems of Korean immigrants` child education by investigating the actual conditions of child education of Korean immigrants in transnational social space-Qingdao, China. For the purpose of this study, schooling was examined in the relationship among education program, cost and parents` choice, and information associated to home education and social education was also partly reviewed. The study has come to the following conclusion. Korean zeal for education and distinction by the social class and the ethnic were also found in Qingdao. And the emergence of "Traveling mothers" which suggest the "mothers in Kangnam", it showed "fluid mobility" due to the uncertain future as the same in the examples of educational migration to the northeast Asia. Furthermore, considering that the ideal goals of educational migration to China are "Understanding Korean" & "Understanding China" education and to learn the cultural differences of the two countries, it was really an irony that the ``distinction`` found in home and social education among Korean immigrants and between the Korean immigrants and local Chinese.
