    The Korea Society aims to further develop the teaching of Korea in K-12 schools across the U.S., thereby enhancing the overall curricula. The Fellowships provide a unique opportunity for participants to develop a critical and engaging eye into modern day Korea while maintaining proper perspective on the nation’s rich history.

    Educators, such as classroom instructors, textbook editors & writers, and curriculum specialists are invited to spend approximately twelve days in South Korea, participating in various lectures, excursions, and discussions, as well as independent research in order to gain an enriched understanding of both Korea’s past and present. Lectures on various topics including history, religion, education, and economics are given by experts in these fields at prestigious Korean institutions. The excursions include guided tours to various sites of historical and cultural significance such as the King Sejong’s Royal Tomb, the Early Printing Museum, Haeinsa, Kyongju, Yangdong Historic Village, industrial site, and the DMZ, as well as visits to various museums. Participants are also given the opportunity to exchange ideas and knowledge with each other to deepen their understanding of Korea in its own context as well as the world. Upon returning to the U.S., participants incorporate their Fellowship experience and knowledge in their respective field of expertise.

    The fellowships are made possible by support from the Freeman Foundation, Korea Foundation and Academy of Korean Studies.
