KGUC welcomes students with international aspirations, and we’ve set the goal of
nurturing our students to have a global mind.
In order to achieve this goal we hold up these three major objectives:
to improve English communication skills, to promote understanding of different cultures,
and to conduct exchange between overseas students and ours.

Special English language curriculum
KGUC offers to students its organized language program in which students learn English from ALTs (assistant language teachers), read full-length works in English, join the KGUC English speech contest, and so on.

Computer-Assisted Language Learning room
This room is open to KGUC students and the UNESCO club. Students can make use of this lab not only during regular class hours but also after school for listening, practicing English conversation, and using the Internet.

Exchange Programs
We have already established several exchange programs, in which students visit sister schools in Canada and Korea. There, they learn English, and can exchange cultures with students there.
