Seoul Global High School was founded in 2008 to nurture international specialists equipped with scholastic excellence, honorable character, and physical strength. Seoul Global High School was established in 2008 and is the first autonomous, public boarding school in South Korea with a focus on international affairs and social studies. The high school attracts a very small group of approximately 150 highly gifted students each year from all over South Korea through a rigorous admissions process. This system helps students attain higher academic achievement along with linguistic competence. The school provides various volunteer opportunities to students to cultivate character. Classes emphasize discussion and presentation, helping students build the creative and critical thinking abilities essential for future global leadership. Most students’ first language is not English, but students are expected to use English for casual conversations between classes and dormitory life. All teachers are advised to use English while teaching in all subjects except Korean language and Korean History.
