Greetings Our education system is now on

a path that has never been taken

─one that strays away from

“Elitism” heading towards

“One-and-Only Person” education.

Our education system has long been dominated by the paradigms of
“catch-up education” and “elite education” with the goal of quickly catching
up with advanced countries. However, modern society characterized by
globalization and technological advancement requires new education that
can produce the right people for the new era.

We have overcome “elite education.” We now pursue “one-and-only person”
education. We pursue an education that helps each and every student build
their distinct personalities and realize their own unique values. We are making
earnest efforts in various areas to create classrooms where students’ creativity
and diversity can thrive.

We will realize future-oriented, innovative education that prepares students
to grow into creative and democratic citizens.We will continue working
hard to create schools in which every morning is full of excitement so that
learning itself is a fun and exciting activity for everyone involved through the
realization of our vision, “Classrooms that encourage questions, schools that
foster friendships, education that enriches lives.”
Seoul education system is owned by the students, faculty, parents, and
citizens. There is a saying that goes, “There were no roads in the beginning.
They were created by people who needed to walk down them.” Likewise,
Seoul education system expects to create a new course for education
through your full engagement in every step of the way. Please join our efforts
to further enrich Seoul education system. We are looking forward to your
continued interest and support.

Thank you.
