Head of School

Greetings, I'm Lee Hyo-joon,
the principal of Paichai High School.

Founded by American missionary Rev. Appenzeller with just two students in 1885,
Paichai has grown into a community of over 100,000 members, thanks to God’s abundant blessings.

Paichai High School is committed to embodying the spirit of “Coram Deo” through fair and
transparent school management and by adapting to new educational paradigms to implement future-oriented education.
We strive to move beyond individual success, focusing instead on education that values community growth.

We will promote moral education that recognizes the true victory and value of goodness in life’s journey.
Our goal is to foster a school where students can discover their own unique fragrance and lead stylish lives with individual tastes.

The competitiveness of future society lies in being 'different from others.'
Rather than a standardized, exam-focused education, we aim to nurture the driving force
and creativity that will allow students to realize their dreams and diverse talents.
All faculty and staff at Paichai are dedicated to providing true education that
will contribute to the future of Korea.


Thank you.
