The curriculum of Handong International School aims to equip students to be agents for God’s Kingdom, capable of serving anywhere in the world. Based on our model of 3C’s in Christ, our curriculum uses elements of the Korean national curriculum, foreign curriculums, as well as our own unique curriculum, and consists of course subjects and co-curricular activities.
