MyExperiencewithKoreanEducation

The first day of school is a similar feeling for many, a bit of excitement and nervousness. As a student, I have experienced these feelings many years in a row. But can you imagine going into a classroom in a different country? Although that may be extremely nerve-racking, for me, I am thankful and consider myself blessed to have had the unique opportunity to experience a school in Seoul, Korea in my 3rd grade. This experience lasted only a couple of weeks during my summer break, but even though it was brief and happened many years ago, it remains a vivid and meaningful memory that has shaped my understanding of Korean culture.
The moment I sat down, I remember the entire class stood up and bowed as soon as the teacher entered. I quickly caught on and followed, realizing that respect wasnโt just encouraged here at school, it was expected. Throughout those couple weeks, I noticed the intense focus on academics, with students pushing themselves to excel, not just for personal success but as a responsibility to themselves and their families. I also remember, that in moments of achievement, the entire class celebrated together, reacting with enthusiasm and support. It was clear that respect, education, and community were not just part of school life but core values embedded in Korean culture.
In Korean schools, respect is woven into every interaction, from the way students address their teachers to the way they speak to their elders. This respected value extends beyond the classroom and into daily life, where I saw respect in elevators, on buses, and even in restaurants.
This formal and structured approach to society contrasts significantly with my life at school in America, where student-teacher interactions are


often more casual, and respect is demonstrated in lower-level ways. While American students may show appreciation through participation and engagement, the respect shown toward teachers differs enormously from the Korean culture.
In Korean schools, education is more than just learning, it is a pursuit of excellence tied to personal and national progress. In Korea, the emphasis on schooling is intense, with long hours strict coursework, and additional after-school academies known as hagwons. I experienced hagwons such as art and piano hagwons during my time in Korean schools. I saw that students are expected to dedicate themselves fully to their academics, often sacrificing relaxation and extracurricular activities in pursuit of academic success. This drive for success stems from a belief that education is the gateway to opportunity and blessings. Families invest heavily in their childrenโs education, and students carry the weight of those expectations. When I was little, I saw this as my Korean mother nudged me to learn more difficult things than my classmates early on, giving me a boost of knowledge and success then, and even today.
Community is at the heart of Korean education, and it is my favorite part of Korean culture. This value shapes the way students interact and support one another. Having been a

part of a Korean classroom, you can 100% see the definition of โthe classroom is not just a place of learning but also a place of teamwork and unity.โ
Students work together, whether through group projects, shared responsibilities like cleaning the classroom, serving food to one another, or the simple act of celebrating each otherโs achievements through in-class remarks. The idea that success is a shared experience encourages a bottomless sense of connection and harmony. In contrast, American schools tend to emphasize individual success and personal achievement, rewarding students for their unique talents and accomplishments. While teamwork is still encouraged, the cultural emphasis on personal ambition and independence often takes priority.
The Korean ideal, by contrast, reinforces the idea that collaborative effort leads to greater success, an idea that extends far beyond the classroom and into professional and social life.
Comparing my experiences in Korean and American schools, the differences are striking. While respect exists in both systems, it is expressed in considerably different ways. The emphasis on education, though present in both cultures, takes on a more intense and structured form in Korea. Community, while valued in both cultures, displays differently in the way students interact and support one another, not just in school but outside as well. These distinctions

reveal how culture influences education and, in turn, how education reinforces cultural importance. Looking back, my experiences in both systems have given me a deeper appreciation for the values that define Korean schooling and the lasting impact they have on students and society as a whole.
Reflecting on my journey, I realize that the lessons I learned in Korean schools extend far beyond academics. They have shaped my understanding of self-discipline, perseverance, and the importance of working together. They have taught me that respect is not just about words but about actions, that education is not just about grades but about personal growth, and that community is not just about belonging but about raising others. These values have stayed with me, influencing the way I approach challenges, people, and my own goals.
As I think about the future, I see the benefits of both educational systems and the potential for integrating the best of both cultures. The Korean emphasis on discipline and academic excellence can be balanced with the American focus on creativity and individuality.
The strong sense of community in Korean schools can be complemented by the encouragement of personal expression found in American schools. The powerful value of respect in Korea can My Experience with Korean Education be applied to American culture to strengthen relationships and harmony. By understanding and appreciating these cultural differences and knowing the results, we now have 2 powerful and successful perspectives to addressing life, whether that is school, relationships, or your dreams.
Looking back, my experiences in Korean schools have given me a deeper understanding of what it means to be part of something greater than myself. Respect for everyone no matter who, success through education, self-determination for my goals and dreams, and a blooming community are not just student values, they are life values. Whether in Korea, America, or anywhere in the world, these values remain essential, influencing the way we build relationships, pursue knowledge, and work together to create a better future.
