We offer all classes in English except for those in Korean language, Korean history, and Chinese language classes. This enables students to acquire English proficiency quickly. The education CSIA students receive approaches that of US schools because students are immersed in an environment where communication naturally takes place in English and English textbooks are used. This results into the enrollment of a large number of CSIA graduates in college and universities overseas. To create a living English environment, native English teachers comprise over 20% of our faculty.
We emphasize self-motivated and creative learning, instead of learning by rote. As the best quality specialized junior high/ special-purpose high school, CSIA is a private school of the highest standards because of its highly competent teachers dedicated to providing world-class education and its individualized programs developed to suit the needs of gifted students.
In addition to offering regular subjects, we provide extracurricular programs in music and arts, and opportunities to participate in a variety of hobby or social activism clubs, allowing students to develop their talents in music, literature, arts and athletics.
CSIA students are engaged in various student-led club activities, school newsletter publications, academic debate sessions, sports, and social service activities in partnership with other schools. They are also offered a diversity of experiences to help them build leadership skills such as meetings with foreign visitors, trips to prestigious schools overseas, and foreign exchange programs.
