| - The Greater Vancouver Korean Language School (Korean: 광역 밴쿠버 한국어학교) is a Korean language school located in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia. As the first Korean language school in British Columbia, it was established in 1973 for the purpose of teaching the Korean language and culture to Korean Canadian children. Initially, the school only offered Korean language classes, but soon added more subjects to the curriculum, including Korean history and culture, Taekwondo, Korean traditional dance, choir and fine arts. The school is currently located at 5921 Kingsway, Burnaby, but it has rented a church or several public school buildings in the Greater Vancouver area prior to the current location. With an influx of Korean immigrants to British Columbia along with the growing number of student enrolments, the school established a branch at Coquitlam in 2006, at Surrey in 2008 and Killarney in 2012. After the founding of the school in 1973, other Korean language schools began to establish in British Columbia since then and therefore, there are 17 Korean language schools as of 2022. For the Korean Canadian immigrant parents in British Columbia, sending their children to the Korean language school is now a common investment in their children’s heritage language acquisition and maintenance. Currently, there are more than 400 graduates of the Greater Vancouver Korean Language School, and they either became university students or working professionals, including jobs such as a Canadian senator and a Canadian news anchor.
