Our Story

About Peninsula Hanaro Korean School

Sharing the language and culture of Korea with the Peninsula community since 2004.

Mission

Our Story

Peninsula Hanaro Korean School was established in August 2004 to teach Korean language, culture, history, and a variety of Korean traditions. Our school is primarily geared for Korean Americans, but it is open to anyone who is interested in Korean culture in the Peninsula area.

With 40–50 students ranging in age from kindergarten to adult, it is the largest — and only non-church-affiliated — Korean school in the Peninsula area.

Our Goals

What We're Working Toward

  • 1 Developing a positive self-esteem as a Korean American through the cooperative efforts of learning Korean language, history, and culture.
  • 2 Offering a well-rounded education by providing enrichment classes, such as origami, calligraphy, Korean traditional games, drawing, and drama.
  • 3 Strengthening students by actively involving them in the mainstream of society, sharing Korean virtues and culture through community outreach and cultural events.
