Program Reviews:
Summer 2017 Participant
My absolute favorite part of the program was the opportunity to interact with the students and faculty on a daily basis. Kyunghwa was incredibly inviting and helped us integrate into their community and city, and my purpose there was more solidified because of it. The students are engaging, attentive, and unbelievably kind - I was truly fortunate to get this opportunity to get to know many of them in my time there. Being able to cross the language barrier in order to form a connection with this school is something that will stick with me.

Morgan Elizabeth Wells, Summer 2019 Participant
The most rewarding part of the program was when the students were having fun in the classroom with the lessons my teaching partner and I created. It felt great seeing them enjoying the lessons and successfully complete the material we created for them.

Aiyana Lynn Moyer, Summer 2017 Participant
My favorite part of the program was being able to interact with and observe the students in both classroom and casual settings. The constant exposure to the students and the unique school atmosphere that can be found at Kyunghwa allowed me to grasp what life is like for the average Korean high school student as well as experience the accepting, English-focused setting that makes Kyunghwa different from other, public high schools.
