Hana Academy Seoul, private, boarding school in Seoul
Hana Academy Seoul is a private high school in Jingwan-dong with modern buildings, bright classrooms, and shared spaces where students study between lessons. The campus includes gardens and open areas where students participate in activities and relax between classes.
The school was founded in 2010 by Hana Financial Group, a major South Korean company, as part of their social programs. Since then it has developed into an independent institution with its own approach to teaching, moving beyond the typical focus on entrance exam preparation.
The school brings together students from different backgrounds in an environment that encourages curiosity and independent thinking. Classroom discussions and projects challenge students to question ideas and develop their own perspectives beyond typical exam preparation.
The school sits in a quiet residential area that is easily reached on foot or by local buses, making for a peaceful start and end to the school day. All students live in campus dormitories during the week and return home on weekends and holidays.
The school is often called Korea's Eton College because it offers a different teaching approach than most other high schools in South Korea. This reputation comes from its aim to prepare students for life, not just for exams.
