Sungshin Women`s University was founded by Dr. Lee Sook-chong 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. Dr. Lee invested all of her capital with
the purpose of restoring our national spirit and culture. 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 Pre-school, Sungshin
Elementary School, Sungshin Girls` Middle School, Sungshin Girls` High School and Sungshin Women`s University. Currently
the University is composed of 7 colleges offering 35 major courses, and 5 graduate schools. Approximately 13,000 students are
currently enrolled while 680 staff and faculty members serve at the University.
