Specialized education

The school runs a so-called "Elite Leadership Education" program for gifted students, including Advanced Placement (AP) courses, as the school was registered as an official AP test center by the College Board in 2007. The school also operates the Academic Adviser Policy, an essay-writing program, and specializes in foreign languages, algebra, and natural sciences.[1]

Established in 2008, the Hyundai Chungun Global Leader Program (HCGLP) is an international class for admission to top foreign universities, including English presentation courses to improve speaking and thinking ability in English. Sophomores can join the Global Leader Scholarship (GLS), a three-week program at Portland State University, Oregon, United States.[1]

The school also runs classes and clubs for Korean traditional music and arts, including Samul Nori, Daegeum, and Gayageum.
