By blending rigorous academics at Yonsei University with a customized chronological exploration of Korean society, we provide the intellectual tools for students to navigate one of the world’s most exciting and dynamic nations.

Beyond the classroom, SeoulQuest offers a bespoke experience tailored to your specific trajectory. Through 1:1 projects and networking sessions with industry professionals in business, technology, and history, students gain a definitive competitive advantage for their future university applications.

Why Choose SeoulQuest?

Excellence, Authenticity, and Care

Exclusive Academic Foundation

SeoulQuest is the only program of its kind offering a credit-bearing partnership with Yonsei University. We lead with a vision of excellence, ensuring that your summer investment yields a globally recognized academic milestone.

Authentic Engagement

We respect our students’ intelligence enough to engage honestly with Korea—the miracles and the struggles alike. We move beyond a sanitized tourist narrative to invite students into an ongoing conversation about complex global realities.

Experienced, Student-Centered Leadership

SeoulQuest leadership understands this journey from the inside out. Program Director Sarah Mack first arrived in Korea as a 15-year-old exchange student; we use that dual perspective to advocate for student independence while maintaining the high-touch safety parents require.

Testimonials

“SeoulQuest taught me how to think historically in a way no textbook ever has. Studying Korea’s past while physically moving through the city made history feel alive and relevant. The academic expectations were high, but the guidance I received helped me grow as a student and a thinker.”

“SeoulQuest offered exactly what we were looking for: serious academics, clear structure, and strong supervision. The communication was transparent, the housing was excellent, and the mentorship gave our daughter a level of guidance she had never experienced before. It set a new standard for what a summer program can be.”

“SeoulQuest blended academic depth with real independence. The discussions, readings, and site visits all connected to broader global issues, which made the experience feel relevant to what I want to study in college. It was rigorous, thoughtful, and incredibly well structured.”
