Chapter 2. Curriculum Operation

Principle of Operation

The KSA curriculum is operated with greater versatility than that of regular schools; in the event of an unclear directive, students will be provided with as much choice and individual direction as possible.

Basic Operation

(1) The curriculum is based on a three year principle. If, however, the required credits and conditions are met, then early graduation may be possible.

- A maximum of 27 curricular credits are allowed per semester.  In the case of 1st year students a minimum of 20 credits to a maximum of 26 curricular credits will be allowed; credits received through PT are not included in the curricular credit.(PT Students may apply for 28 curricular credits)

- If a GPA of 3.7 or higher was received in the previous semester then students may apply for 30 curricular credits.

- Students must maintain a minimum of 10 curricular credits per semester.

(2) An academic year consists of two regular semesters; one semester lasts 16 weeks. (As of 2010 the school will be operated in conjunction with KAIST with the first semester beginning on February 1st.)

- Class instruction will consist of 50 minutes per hour. Two hour classes may be permitted.

- One Credit will be given for each 16 hours of instruction (one hour credited per week). In the case of laboratory or practical exercise classes one Credit will be given for every 32 hours (two hours credited per week).

(3) A variety of courses and programs will be offered in order to develop student interest and ability to the fullest.

- Elective courses will be offered according to ability and interest regardless of  but subjects must   in accordance with each course level requirement.

- Elective courses will be divided according to first and second semester.

- Science and Elective courses will be divided into separate departments; each separate department will make courses available internally.

- Science departments will consist of Mathematics and Computer Science, Physics and Earth Science, and Chemistry and Biology departments.

- Minimum Science and Elective course credits (28 credits) cannot exceed 19 Special subject credits.

- In the case of Elective courses, the Syllabus will be submitted well in advance so that students will have ample time to familiarize themselves with the courses prior to enrollment

- In order to provide an education centered on Students and Discussion, Elective courses will be offered when six or more students apply.

(4) Student individuality, while maintaining strict standards of scholarship, will be reinforced.

- Warnings will be operated for a GPA of 2.0. Two warnings will result in automatic expulsion.

- Poor performance by students will be minimized through Instructor Guidance and Counseling.

- Students who have received a warning will have one warning erased if they maintain and average of B0 (3.0) or higher.

- Credits received outside of KSA must be approved in advance by the Principal.

- Classes will begin at 8 AM and run until 4 PM. Research activities, group activities and student development time will be offered afterwards.

Academic Curriculum Operation Plan

(1) Required courses must be completed by the 4th semester

(2) Presenting lectures in English is compulsory.

- Beginning in 2010, Science subjects and English subjects will be taught with original textbooks and in English.

(3) Required mathematics, Physics, English courses will be taught according to different levels (Honor classes, Regular classes).

(4) All courses will reinforce research, discussion, and writing skills.

- Science subjects will reinforce discussion and experimentation.

- General subjects will reinforce ‘writing’ in the syllabus.

(5) Laboratory classes will be conducted.

(6) Special courses outside of the curriculum may be established after consideration by the School’s Board.

(7) Special courses will be recorded in the Daily School Register as follows:

<Table 4> An Example of Filling Special Courses in Daily School Register

Course Type	Code	Course	Credit	Grade	Comment
Sciences Elective	PE512	Special topics in Physics (Intro. to thermal and statistical physics)	3	A+

(8) When converged classes are offered within a department or when two departments offer a converged class, two or more instructors will present the course.

(9) Prior to enrollment each semester, each department will announce through their respective department’s committee the courses to be offered and the schedule for the following semester.

Creative Research Activities

(1) To enhance creative research capabilities of KSA students in an efficient manner, the school operates step-by-step Creative Research Activities, which consist of Creative Research Fundamentals (6 credits), R&E activities (R&E) (10 credits), R&E on-site research (4 credits), domestic & international on-site research (2 credits) and Graduation Research (or KAIST HRP) (8 credits). <See Table 5>.

Chapter 5. Course Registration

Course Registration

Course registration will be on a two-stage process; the courses that are canceled will be determined after the first stage, and then, the second stage course registrations will be accepted. Only students whose classes have been canceled or who have special circumstances will be allowed to register in the second stage. All others will be required to keep to the regular registration period. The course registration guidelines will be as follows.

1) Students must receive counseling from the homeroom teacher before they can register for courses through the academic support system. At this time the registration form must be completed and signed by the student and the homeroom teacher and submitted directly to the Dept. of Academic Affairs.

2) Students are requested to plan and register for each following semester’s courses by consulting both the table of subject credits and the table of course opening semesters.

3) A maximum of 27 credits are allowed per semester.

4) Even though all course credits have been fulfilled, students must register for a minimum of 10 credits.

5) Students must register for the required courses according to each semester’s requirements.

6) Korean/Korean History, Music/Art, World History/Philosophy of Science and History of Science, English Composition/English Listening, Advanced English Conversation/Advanced English Reading must be taken in separate semesters. For example, 1st semester Music, 2nd semester Art, etc.

7) Second foreign languages will be offered in the third and fourth semesters as Courses I and Ⅱ in that order

8) Elective courses must be registered according to the student’s class year during the registration period and may be changed to a different school year level during course adjustment period.

9) When registering for general electives, no more than two of the same kind will be allowed (allowances will be made for early graduating students or other special circumstances).

10) Courses already selected must be fulfilled according to their requirements before other courses will be allowed.

11) AP courses with laboratory components must be taken along with the theory class. For example, General Physics 1 must be taken with General Physics 1 Laboratory Class. Only students enrolled through PT may take the Laboratory class only in the 1st year.

12) Retaking courses are only possible if a grade lower than D+ had been received.

13) 09 class numbers must fulfill a minimum of 6 basic science electives in order to graduate. No more than 2 courses per semester are allowed.

Modification of Registered Courses

1) General course adjustment rules are the same as for course registration. The course adjustment form must be filled out and signed by the student, the homeroom teacher, and the student’s subject teacher and submitted to the Dept. of Academic Affairs.

2) Course modification period is for two weeks after the start of the semester.

3) Students with a GPA of more than 3.7 in the previous semester may modify their courses to add 3 credits for a total of 30 credits in all.

4) Students may no transfer into class with 18 students. For students retaking a course or in need of graduation credits or those in other special circumstances exceptions may be made if the student submits the proper form with a signature from the dean of the department.

5) Courses with fewer than 6 students cannot be cancelled during the course adjustment period.

6) Once the course modification form has been submitted, the course instructor may directly adjust their course through the scholastic support system.

Application Form for Withdrawal of course

※ Notes for the application

1. Only required courses for 1st year students can be withdrawn, and your careful consideration is required because the withdrawn courses cannot be changed afterwards.

2. If more than 6 students apply for the withdrawal, the withdrawn course can be opened in the following semester exceptionally. Unless then, students have to take the course in the same semester of the next year, and they also have to follow the category hierarchy of the courses. Therefore, your graduation can be delayed.

3. In regard of mathematics, students are asked to be careful of gaining credits for graduation, because required courses are offered in each of 5 semesters.
