My Students

So for those of you who don't know, I teach at an all girls' middle and high school called Sunsim Girls' School. It's a private, Catholic school. However, not everybody who goes is Catholic. Some aren't even religious. So I'm not entirely sure what qualifies these girls to attend apart from entrance exam scores. It's a mystery.  The high school part of Sunsim was designated a "good school" by the Korean government, and as such was invited to attend the Good School Expo. There were about 80 schools ranging from kindergarten all the way up to high school. These are some pictures and videos I took while at the Expo.

These are two of my first year high school girls. They are great.

The pavilion looked out over a pond.

More students. These are my second year high schoolers.

My girls!

This is one of our school's clubs called: P.A.S. Power and Strength. They are a dedicated group of girls. They practice all the time.

This is our orchestra.

And finally, our choir.

My School

This post is long overdue, and I apologize for that. It is due in part to being busy and laziness (but mostly laziness). I realized that I haven't actually posted any pictures of what my school actually looks like. So this blog post will be dedicated to introducing my school to you all.

This is my classroom

These are posters that my students made. They designed their own school dance.

More posters that my girls made. Some of them are absolutely fantastic artists.

These are the doors to my office. The sign is misleading.

The entrance to my school building. I am in a separate building with the art and music teachers from the main school building.

This is looking away from my school building towards the main gate.

That is the main school building that has both the middle and high schools.

This is one of the principal's gardens. She loves to garden, and spends everyday outside working on them.

This is the building next to mine, and is the gymnasium.

The red building is the cafeteria and dormitory for the nuns and top students. The tall "Woobang" building behind is an apartment building.
