ASIA Korean Culture School


ASIA Monthly Culture School for Adoptive Families

The ASIA Korean Culture School is established to provide learning opportunities for Korean adoptees and their adoptive families so that they can learn about the culture of their birth country. It is a place where children can interact with other adoptees and feel pride in being who they are through fun and creative classroom activities. We believe it is important for Korean adoptees to have a connection with their county of birth while growing up and having a place that provides cultural learning opportunities on a regular basis. Our goal is to provide regularly scheduled events so that adoptive families will not lack cultural education and support that will potentially help their children build sound identities from a young age.

The monthly Korean Culture School will be offered throughout Winter/Spring 2010 for children and parents. The school is open for everyone who is interested in learning about Korean culture including birth siblings. The target age groups are preschoolers (3-5 yrs old) and elementary school students (1st through 6th graders). While children are engaged in their classes, parents will have the option to participate in adult lectures and cooking classes. Children’s programs will consist of arts and crafts, music, play time and cooking lessons. Language classes will be offered in the future.
