Children's education in Korea is mostly restricted to the
acquisition of knowledge and application of such knowledge
principally to do well academically. We believe that these
qualities are important but other facets of education cannot
be ignored. Instilling a mindset in children that:
¢Ã makes them willing and able learners for the rest of
their lives;
¢Ã gives the children the confidence to pursue their
goals; and
¢Ã makes them socially responsible for their action
should all be part of children's education, and in many ways,
should be its most important part. Many educational approaches
offer creative ways of acquiring knowledge and creativity,
but few offer these important attributes. We believe that
High/Scope differs from other methods as it offers a mix of
all these essential ingredients that may dramatically improve
the life chances of young children.
Our vision is to improve the way young children are taught
in Korea so that they become lifetime learners. We believe
that the life chances of children will be improved dramatically,
if they have the confidence to think on their own, and take
responsible action to achieve their goals. Such an attitude
will lead to greater life fulfillment as the children become
more proactive with their studies and their lives.
