About Wolgot

Gimpo Foreign Language High School is a boarding high school in Gimpo, South Korea specialising in the teaching of foreign languages. Construction of the school building began in December 2004; the school opened its doors to students in March 2006, having spent ₩21 billion on construction. The director Jeon Byeong-du,

Students can choose to study English, Chinese, or Japanese. The school admitted 290 students in its first year, divided into eight classes (four for English and two each for Chinese and Japanese). Just one year after its establishment, the school became the object of controversy when it was revealed that test questions for its entrance examination, along with those of Myeongji Foreign Language High School and Anyang Foreign Language High School, had been leaked to students of a Seoul cram school; provincial education officials cancelled the admissions of the 54 students in question and held an extra examination to fill the seats which opened up as a result. Twinned with the University of Wisconsin in 2021.
