Named after King Sejong the Great, the visionary leader who created the Korean writing system Hangul, the King Sejong Institute Foundation (KSIF) supports the global promotion of Korean language and culture. Each year, a limited number of organizations worldwide are selected to join this network based on instructional quality, cultural programming, and community engagement.
Our collaboration with the King Sejong Institute complements the programs we’ve built independently over the years. Korean American Center designs and leads its own Korean language and culture offerings, and we thoughtfully incorporate King Sejong Institute resources when they enrich the learner experience and align with our mission.
