Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yeogang High School are private-dependent, co-educational schools located in Yeoju, Gyeonggi Province, approximately one hour southeast of Seoul. The schools promote disciplined study habits and a goal oriented work ethic. Ninety percent of the class of 2008 entered university study. The high school serves grades ten to twelve, while the middle school serves grades seven to nine. Yeogang offers students the choice of a comprehensive or vocational education. The former program prepares students for general university study, whereas the latter program prepares students for business and management university study or immediate employment in industry. Established as Yeogang Junior High School in 1970 under the endowment of Yi-bae Kim, an agricultural entrepreneur and landowner, it was incorporated three years later into the newly built high school and renamed the Yeogang Middle School. For much of its history the high school was known as the Yeogang Consolidated High School, but in 2003 was renamed to commemorate the founder's vision of plurality in education.
