What Kwangwoon does

Kwangwoon Artificial Intelligence High School (광운인공지능고등학교) is a public vocational high school located in Wolgye-dong, Nowon-gu, Seoul, operated by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (서울특별시교육청). Founded in 2020 as a rebrand of the former Kwangwoon Electronics Industrial High School, the institution specializes in AI-focused secondary education delivered through five academic departments: AI Computing, Electronics Convergence/AI Robotics, AI Information Content/Design, AI Electrical Engineering, and AI Software. Each department runs two classes of 36 students (180 total per cohort), with recruitment conducted through the Korean national specialized high school admission system.

The school's curriculum combines standard Korean high-school academic subjects with specialized vocational AI/technology tracks, supplemented by designated special programs including the Industry-Academia Integrated Apprenticeship School (산학일체형 도제학교), the SME Human Resources Development Program (중소기업인력양성사업), an Intel AI LAB partner school designation, Credit System Excellence (학점제 운영 우수학교), Military Specialization (군특성화), and the Green Smart Future School (그린스마트 미래학교) initiative. The institution supports students through an online learning resource center, an employment center, and WeeClass counseling services. Geographically it serves Seoul and adjacent Gyeonggi Province, with no dormitory facilities restricting enrollment to commuter students.

As a non-profit public educational institution, the school generates no commercial revenue; tuition and fees are governed by Korean public education standards. Its strategic positioning aligns with South Korea's national priority of developing an AI-literate workforce, leveraging the Kwangwoon University brand proximity for secondary-to-tertiary education continuity and the Intel partnership for industry-standard AI tooling exposure. Distribution and outreach are conducted through an official website, YouTube, Instagram, KakaoTalk channel, summer career camps, and admission information sessions targeting prospective students and parents.
