The school will be an actual school, so it will prepare students for middle school and high school qualification exams, as well as programs to receive middle school and high school certification from USA. It will be bringing foreign transfer students, with the school body made up of 70% foreigners and 30% Koreans.
SM Entertainment is aiming to open in September, with 50-100 studetns as the first years.
