The school was founded in the early 1900s, making it one of the oldest girls' schools in the region. Over more than a century, it has educated generations of women from Jeonju and the surrounding area.
The school is part of daily life for many families in Jeonju, as most students come from nearby neighborhoods and walk or ride bikes to get there. School festivals and shared events regularly bring students, teachers, and families together.
The school is an active educational institution and not a place open to general visitors. Those walking through the area can see the buildings from outside, but should be mindful of the ongoing school day.
Many graduates return to the school years after finishing their studies to give talks or take part in events, which creates a visible link between generations. This ongoing connection between former and current students is a notable part of school life here.
