Following the opening of Mirim Girls' High School in 1979, Mirim Girls' Information Science High School, established in 1991, has had over 30% of its students participate in global internship programs in countries such as the UK, Japan, Singapore, and Australia. Additionally, through agreements with more than 400 companies including Samsung Electronics, it has achieved an almost 100% employment rate annually.

Mirim Girls' Information Science High School was designated as a Ministry of Education Software Leading School in 2016, followed by recognition as an Excellent Foreign Language Education School (2017), awarded the Minister of Education Commendation as an Excellent School for the High School Credit System (2018), selected as an Artificial Intelligence (AI) High School by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (2022), and chosen as a Ministry of Education Micro Curriculum Operating School (2023).

Mirim Meister High School, the only girls' Meister High School (vocational special-purpose high school) in Korea, is newly starting as a coeducational school. It will recruit new students nationwide in 2024 for two departments: New Media Software and New Media Design. The total number of recruits is 108, with 72 students for New Media Software and 36 for New Media Design. Admission fees, tuition, and dormitory fees will be fully supported for local students and those who wish to stay in the dormitory.

Applications will be accepted online nationwide through the website for four days starting from the 16th of next month. Two admission information sessions will be held on September 23 and October 14, and participation is possible through prior registration.

Kim Ki-byeong, Chairman of Lotte Tour Development, established Mirim Girls' High School in 1979 with the belief that "to become an advanced country, there must be many capable women." From 2017, the school was selected as one of the top high schools in Seoul for four-year university admission rates among general high schools for five consecutive years. This year, it was also selected as a UNESCO-designated Heritage Education Pilot School.
