Purpose of Bahrom Character Education

Bahrom Character Education is a unique life education program at Seoul Women's University aimed at realizing the university's educational philosophy. Originally started by the first dean, Dr. Bahrom Ko Hwang-kyung, it was initially called dormitory education but later renamed Bahrom Education in 1988.

Bahrom Education is based on the Christian spirit and Dr. Ko's personal educational philosophy. It has provided holistic Christian character education at Seoul Women's University since its inception and, in doing so, cultivated a long list of leaders who continue serve both the nation and the world through a focus on communal life. The educational goal of Bahrom Education is to cultivate women leaders who possess a combination of the Christian spirit and expertise gained from their major education, integrating spirituality, intelligence, sensibility, and professionalism.

As we move forward into the 21st Century, these qualities are more important than ever, so Bahrom Education continues to cultivate future-oriented traits and a Christian character required in a world characterized by information and globalization. We develop positive and progressive female leaders capable of shaping the future by establishing a strong sense of self-identity, community spirit, and historical consciousness. To achieve this, the unique Bahrom Education systematically implements Christian character education through specific fields: identity, relationships, and practice.
