Dear American High School Student,

Hi! I’m Seongun Jeong and I’m a freshman in Sangsan High School. I’m 17 years old in Korean age and 16 in American. I’m writing this letter to inform you about Korean High School and looking forward to knowing you and your school life(My English might not be so good).

Our school is a little different from ordinary high school in Korea. Most Korean high schools are tuition-free and the education is provided to everyone. Also they aren’t boarding schools. They don’t have dormitories, and students usually go to school by bus, bicycle, or just walk. However our school is a private school, requires tuition and has a dormitory. My home is far from this school so I live in the dorm. I would prefer living home but, anyway

We(my fellow friends and I) usually get up at 6:30A.M. and go to school by 7:55A.M. We have 8 periods every day and each period is 50 minutes long. There is a ten minutes break time between all periods. The school ends at 5:10P.M., and there is “evening-self-study-time” after school till 11:20P.M.(It’s autonomous by name, but it’s actually an obligation). We sleep at 00:00A.M. This schedule makes us low-key everyday. (Many Korean students spend a lot of time studying because of ‘suneung’ - something like Korean SAT but only one time a year)Can you tell me about your school? And what do you usually do after school?

My favorite thing about this school is the track surrounding the school field. I usually walk the track with my friends, and it’s a lot of fun talking with them. I especially recommend walking the track at sunset. I also like to play basketball and soccer. What is your hobby? And also I love sharing my music playlist with my friends and adding new songs to mine. Who is your favorite singer and what is your favorite song? For me, I like “Afterglow” by Ed Sheeran the most. I’m a big fan of his.

Anyway, I would really appreciate if you tell me about your school and yourself. Stay safe!!

Best, Seongun

Hi! My name is Grange Suhr. I'm an American student at Arlington Public Highschool in Arlington Nebraska which is where I was born and raised. Our school is not as cool as yours, we have a public education with most of the students living in town with their families! I wake up at 7:00 am Monday through Friday to get ready for school. Our school begins at 8:05 so I usually arrive by 7:50. We have 9 periods spanning around 45 minutes each and we get out of our school at 3:30 everyday! Saturday and Sunday are our break days where we don’t have to go to school then on Monday we go back! Some things that I really like are playing baseball, collecting cool sneakers like Air Jordans, and fashion/clothing. If you ever get the chance to come to America you have to try all of our chain restaurants like Mcdonalds, Pizza Hut, and Taco Bell. Though I’m pretty sure you may have some of those things over there, they are very different in the states than in Korea. A question that I have for you, and about your school is what does your guy’s teaching look like? Do you learn by yourself, or are you taught a lot of the day? I’ll answer your questions now. After school I usually go home and chill around my house, then go and practice baseball! One of my favorite songs is Kolors by Monte Booker. It was really fun writing this and I hope to hear from you soon!

Thank you for replying to my letter and telling me about your school life! It was very fun reading your letter. I will reply to your questions. In our school, most students learn by themselves. Usually Korean students go to school and Hagwon(kind of academy) every day and taught by teachers. However, in our school, most students study with their own schedule and their own way. For me, I study by myself too. Anyway, keep in touch!
