According to the Korean national scholastic assessment of 2013, Daejeon Sahmyook Middle School is now among the top 0.3% nationwide. Also, according to the scholastic assessment announced on February 2 of this year, Daejeon Sahmyook Middle School ranked 12th among 3,225 schools nationwide.
The school’s vision is to “foster globally creative and outstanding students” through proper Adventist education, character development, and academic growth. Above all, Daejeon Sahmyook Middle School promotes knowledge, ethics and physical development based on the verse “love your neighbors as yourself.” The educational environment of the school is another one of its outstanding traits.
For example, to create an atmosphere of comfort and happiness where students can feel at home, the school designed the classrooms and hallways like a house. Students can sit or lie down to read books and play during recess. Since 2010, schools around the country have begun promoting “schools without violence”; however, this is a motto for other schools. While other schools install CCTVs and use artificial ways to prevent school bullying and violence, Daejeon Sahmyook Middle School has been focusing on educating students on the matters of fundamental sanctity of life, building upright character, love and humanity.
Daejeon Sahmyook Middle School is determined to continue to grow so that they can be the “head” of the world. Principal Kim JoonSup made it clear that “our school will do its best to teach with passion and love to guide students to be active and creative through all the right sources. We will continue to carry out the image of humbleness and service.”
