Construction of the school building began in December 2004; the school opened its doors to students in March 2006, having spent ₩21 billion on construction. The director Jeon Byeong-du, a construction equipment magnate, used his own fortune to build the school, joking that he would rather give something back to society than leave his money to his children and start an inheritance dispute. Students can choose to study English, Chinese, or Japanese. The school admitted 290 students in its first year, divided into eight classes.
