Overview

Sungshin University was founded by Dr. Sook-chong Lee as an outgrowth of its predecessor, Sungshin Girls' School, which was established on April 28, 1936. Dr. Lee decided to establish an educational institute based on the belief that only education would lead Koreans to national independence during the Japanese Occupation. Sungshin Girls' School was first opened with 60 students in the Catholic Memorial Building in Kyungwoon-dong, Seoul. As more students enrolled and more facilities were needed, the school moved to its present site, Donam-dong, Sungbuk-gu.
 
As of 1995, the Sungshin Institute consisted of Sungshin Kindergarten, Sungshin Elementary School, Sungshin Girls' Middle School, Sungshin Girls' High School and Sungshin University. Currently the University is composed of 11 colleges offering 47 major courses, and 5 graduate schools. Approximately 11,000 students are currently enrolled.
