Myongji Elementary School was founded in 1967 by the late Dr. Yoo Sang-geun, who sought to nurture sincere and capable individuals contributing to world peace and the advancement of human culture. Guided by its founding spirit—“educating students with the profound truths of Christianity to cultivate talented individuals”—the school practices character education rooted in love.

A Beautiful School in Nature

Nestled within Baekryeon Mountain, the school offers a serene environment where children grow healthy in body and mind. Surrounded by the beauty of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, students study joyfully while listening to birdsong and breathing fresh air. In the cherry blossom grove called the “Garden of Love” and the maple forest known as the “Story Forest,” friendships deepen. On the playground, children run across the soil, tumble on natural grass, and fill the campus with bright laughter.

 

Love and Respect for Children: The Beginning of Myongji Education

The strength of Myungji education lies in character development. Since its founding over 50 years ago, the school has drawn upon Christian truths from the Bible—love, gentleness, faith, listening, obedience, patience, sincerity, courage, gratitude, consideration, sharing—and adapted them to each grade level. Teachers devote themselves to shaping children into individuals of good character. The goal of Myungji education is to ensure every child grows up loved, respected, and happy, with teachers providing close and detailed guidance to foster upright values.

A School Where Everyone Is a Protagonist and a Leader

Myongji’s programs avoid ranking or competition. Every child becomes the star of concerts and art exhibitions, participates in English presentations, and takes turns being a leader to build confidence and social skills. Reading education instills lifelong habits, while feedback in every lesson ensures solid foundations. The focus is on unlocking each child’s potential rather than comparison.

Myongji Education for the Future

Anticipating shifts in educational paradigms and trends, the school prepares students for the future. By offering diverse and forward-looking experiences that stimulate intellect and emotion, Myongji nurtures creative, integrative individuals who will lead future society. The school dedicates itself wholeheartedly to cultivating students’ potential and guiding them to become future-oriented leaders.
