About GPA

Global Prodigy Academy is an international high school accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The school is located in Jeonju, 180 miles south of Seoul and is affiliated with Jeonju University. There are about 60 total students and 13 foreign teachers. Most of the graduates have entered universities abroad.

Jeonju University officials recognized a need for a high school that would prepare students for university studies abroad, which resulted in the creation of GPA. The school opened its doors in February 2006 with only a few students. School officials expect continuous growth, which will result in added curriculum and extracurricular opportunities.

GPA is a college preparatory high school with the goal of preparing students academically, physically, and socially for the global workplace and to help them become leaders with broad perspectives and high expectations for themselves and others.
