Enrichment Education
Unique among Korean secondary schools, KMLA also provides a Summer Session program. It takes place between the conclusion of the first semester and start of summer break. Lasting some three weeks in duration, Summer Session enables students to intensively study courses that interest them, complete credit requirements for the regular curriculum, or even earn credit for activities off campus.

Convergence Program
The Convergence Program consists of three stages: Convergence Reading, Convergence Imagination and, finally, a Convergence Project. In Convergence Reading, students gain foundational knowledge through extensive reading across multiple academic fields. They then explore and develop creative solutions in their Convergence Imagination subjects and activities. The final stage is the Convergence Project, a process that allows students to develop their problem-solving skills by establishing their own themes and producing actual results through peer collaboration.
Freshmen are required to take Convergence Reading in their first semester. They move on to Convergence Imagination in their second semester, or can opt to continue with Convergence Reading. In their second year, students can begin their Convergence Project or continue with Convergence Imagination. In their second semester of senior year, students can autonomously decide their Convergence Project.
Summer & Winter Camps
The KMLA Science & Math Program (KSMP) also takes place twice per year. The KSMP is a selective 10 day program where 120 students intensively study math, physics, chemistry, biology, astronomy, or information technology with a KMLA teacher. The approach is hands on. Students conduct experiments, work on scientific research projects, and prepare for Olympiads, establishing a concrete foundation for their scientific education.
