Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education Announces 2027 High School Admissions Basic Plan
Early Admissions Begin August 24; Regular Admissions Start December 4
Volunteer Activities Excluded and Attendance Weighs More from 2028 Admissions

The Gyeonggi Provincial Office of Education (Superintendent Lim Taehee) announced the “2027 Gyeonggi Province High School Admissions Basic Plan” on March 30 and provided key dates for the admissions process.

For the 2027 academic year, high school admissions will be based primarily on middle school academic records and the contents of the student record book. The process will be divided into two rounds: early and regular admissions.

The early admissions round includes science high schools, Meister high schools, art high schools, physical education high schools, specialized high schools, and specialized departments within general high schools. This round will take place from August 24 to December 1, 2026.

The regular admissions round covers general high schools, autonomous public high schools, foreign language high schools, international high schools, and autonomous private high schools, and is scheduled to run from December 4, 2026, to February 5, 2027.

A notable feature of the 2027 admissions basic plan is that students’ grades from the second semester of their first year of middle school will be reflected in the evaluation. In addition, starting with the 2028 admissions process, volunteer activities will no longer be considered, while the weighting of attendance records will be strengthened. This is intended to comprehensively evaluate students’ continuous academic effort and consistent school life.

The provincial office stated that it will continue to closely communicate with the field, do its utmost to ensure students’ right to choose a high school, and provide administrative support to guarantee a fair admissions process.

The “2027 Gyeonggi Province High School Admissions Basic Plan” can be found on the high school admissions and transfer portal website (http://satp.goe.go.kr) from March 30.
