The curriculum operates on a credit-based system. Unlike general high schools in Korea, where students progress by grade, our students progress by establishing individual curriculum based on ability and interest. Students can graduate if they complete 175 credits of the coursework and other graduation requirements.

The curriculum is research-oriented. Various research programs are designed to promote students' inquiry, creativity, and collaborative skills. In particular, the R&E program, where students learn by participating in a research project under the guidance of professors and scientists in research institutions and universities, provides our students with unique opportunities to acquire skills and attitudes required of future scientists.

We believe our school has many more reasons to be considered one of the world's leading high schools in the field of special science education for the gifted. The academic achievement of our students is of the highest level. We select talented students with great potential from applicants nationwide through a rigorous three-step selection process. Our teachers are the best in Korea, recruited through a dedicated nationwide selection process. The teachers in our school are required to participate in in-service training annually to continue developing their professional knowledge and skills in special education for the gifted.
