Curious about what you will do each day during SPARKS? Look no further! Here, you will find a detailed breakdown of what students will do each week of the program.

 

Every Sunday marks the beginning of a new unit of Korean history, about which the students will learn in detail through field trips and excursions, meals, discussions with experts, and discussing relevant historical films. Each week builds on the themes and points discussed in the previous week, leading to an increased understanding and appreciation for the threads that weave together Korea's past, present, and future.

​

Our goal for our students is that they will return home from Korea with an appreciation and empathy for the amazing transformation Korea has undergone in the past century by experiencing the incredible story of modern Korean history in chronological order.

​

Note: Students who are unable to attend the full six-week program may  contact us to request to attend only the first three weeks or the last three weeks of the SPARKS program. However, please note that students who attend a three-week program will only receive 3 college credits from Seoul National University.
