School Mission & Values

The mission of YHALE is to produce students who are fluent in both English and their target language of either Korean or Mandarin Chinese, and thrive socially, emotionally and intellectually. At Yi Hwang Academy of Language Excellence (YHALE) we believe that this requires flexibility and innovation in the world of education. We believe that the future is bright with young minds that can grow in purpose, mission and virtue. At the heart of our program we believe that Dual-Language Immersion not only strengthens their minds, but opens their hearts to our wide, diverse world.


The ancients see me not, nor I, the ancients, Though I see the ancients not, the Way they trod is before me, Their Way before me, can I but follow. – Yi Hwang
