We do not yet have a great deal of informatin about Korean school curriculum. Primary education in Korea seeks to create the an environment conducive for physical and mental development. The curriculum is grouped around five core areas: physical, social, expressive, lingusitc, and inquiry life. Many of the actual subjects are similar to western subjects, but with a heavy emphasis on math and science. The curriculum is standard. I'm not sure to what extent they have special programs for children who are academically challeged or advanced. One sunject we noted at some schools lesson in traditional manners. We are not sure how common this is. I am not sure about the middle school curriculum. We do know that beginning with middle schools there are varying programs to accomodat academic abilities and the children's interests. The high school curriculum varies depending on the academic program. Students in academic high schools with high academic standards choose a major in their second year (age 16). The choices include humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, and vocational training.
