Cheongna Dalton School
Cheongna Dalton School (CDS) stands as a unique and pioneering institution within the realm of international education in South Korea. Established by Madame Bongduk Lee, the visionary founder of the Bongduk Education Foundation, CDS is distinguished by its commitment to fostering creativity, self-driven academic ability, adaptability, leadership, and teamwork among its students.
Madame Lee's dedication to education emerged during a tumultuous period in Korea, marked by colonization and the Korean War in the mid-20th century. In 1952, she and her husband established an elementary school using tents to combat illiteracy and poverty. Subsequent initiatives included the formation of a women's vocational school in 1960 and the establishment of Hangaram High School in 1997, challenging the rigidity of the country's academic system and granting students autonomy in their course selections.
With a legacy of educating over 72,900 students from elementary to high school, the Bongduk Education Foundation has been instrumental in shaping the educational landscape in Korea. Cheongna Dalton School is a testament to the foundation's commitment to global citizenship and providing a world-class education, essential for navigating the complexities of the future.
CDS, being the only international school under the nonprofit Korean education foundation, follows the Dalton Plan, a student-centered approach that emphasizes individuality, freedom, and collaboration. The school brings together a diverse faculty from around the world, creating a dynamic and enriching learning environment.
At CDS, the curriculum and education system have garnered recognition from prestigious institutions globally, reflecting the school's commitment to excellence. The focus on developing key skills such as creativity, adaptability, and leadership positions students to lead in the ever-evolving global landscape.
Cheongna Dalton School envisions students who not only excel academically but also embody values of respect for others within and beyond their communities and countries. The school aims to instill in its students a sense of responsibility for the betterment of mankind, fostering contributions to the development of nations and the advancement of global peace and cultural growth.
