The founders of Sejong Academy of Minnesota are Twin Cities parents, educators and other professionals who are passionate about providing children with opportunities to become bi/multilingual as well as to be proficient global citizens.
Our group of board members and other volunteers have prepared an application for a Twin Cities Charter School for Korean language immersion that will be centrally located in Minneapolis. The school is preparing to open as a K-5 school in September, 2013 in the Twin Cities. We will add a grade every year until we reach K-8; eventually, we hope to go through grade 12. We are very excited about this school, and we know many of you are too!
As a charter school, it will be a public elementary school, free and available to the public. Having this resource will allow children to learn a foreign language at a young age, when it is easiest to learn languages. It will also encourage children to appreciate the beauty of differences in people of other cultures and races. In the case of children of Korean heritage, this school will offer a stronger connection with Korea, her language and culture.
We are seeking volunteers to help with various tasks for getting the word out to community members, making connections, and various other tasks as they present themselves.
If you can spare some time and energy for this worthy cause and would like to get involved in the process, or if you know of someone else who might want to help our initiative, please contact our board at the e-mail address listed below.
If time is not something you can provide, please consider supporting our volunteers' efforts by providing a financial gift.
We appreciate your participation!
