South Korea Middle School Grade 7 Arts Curriculum

The Arts curriculum in South Korean middle schools, including grade 7, typically encompasses a range of art forms, although specific details are difficult to find. It includes mandatory subjects such as Music, Fine Arts/Painting, and Practical Arts, which may include crafts and other hands-on artistic activities. Some schools may offer additional electives in areas like Drama, choir, and other studio classes. In the 6th and 7th grades at Seoul International School, students take visual art as a rotating quarterly elective along with makerspace, choir and drama.

Middle school in South Korea represents a significant transition from elementary school, with increased academic expectations. While uniforms may be enforced, rules around haircuts have been relaxed in many schools.

The Korean national curriculum aims to foster creativity and practical skills alongside core subjects like literacy, math, science, and social studies. The curriculum is standardized across the country. Middle school covers grades 7 through 9, and students are typically required to take twelve subjects, including electives and extracurricular activities.
