GRADUATE VOICES
Looking back.

Eight graduates on their years at Wisdom Mission School and where they went next. Each note is printed as the student wrote it.
“When I came to Wisdom Mission School, I had no motivation to study. However, coming here taught me many valuable lessons that allowed me to get to where I am today. Wisdom Mission School gave me an education custom-tailored to my strengths and weaknesses. I owe this school for not only allowing me to academically excel and gain admission to an Ivy League school, but also for teaching me valuable life skills and virtues.”
BLAKE H. · UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA
“An unenthusiastic, underperforming student at the public high school, I decided to attend WMS. From my freshmen to senior year, the school provided me with the love, care, and dedication needed to pursue my academic dreams. The small teacher to student ratio helped me tremendously and I was able to receive specialized help for the specific questions that I had in my classes. WMS not only helped me in my studies, but it also helped me believe in myself when everything around me seemed futile.”
JASON K. · UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES
“Wisdom Mission School is an opportunity to stand out by providing experiences and recourses not as readily available at public schools. I would always cherish the memories and learnings I obtained at this school.”
ERIC K. · UC BERKELEY
“My years at Wisdom Mission School will always hold a special place in my heart. I was able to grow not only academically, but also as a person, surrounded by staff and a community that genuinely cared for me. I never felt like just another student, I felt seen, supported, and encouraged to become the best version of myself. Through its personalized guidance, faith, and spiritual teachings, WMS helped me shaped the person I am today.”
HYUN JIN L. · UCSD
“I was a problematic student with a 1.7 GPA. It was hard to go to school because I had no motivation or goals. I was told that I might be expelled if I missed one more day of school. Then, my mother introduced me to WMS, and I was immediately put into AP classes. The faculty was amazing and Principal Chung personally encouraged me throughout, and I ended up passing the AP tests, and improved from 1.7 GPA to a 4.67 GPA. No other place would have allowed me to have so many opportunities and encouragement. Where I am standing is thanks to Wisdom Mission School.”
CHAN DONG S. · UCLA
“At my previous high school, I thought I was useless person. I was hungry for attention until I came to WMS. I received love and care from the principal and staffs at WMS. As a result, I became motivated to study and enjoyed it. Through daily QTs and weekly chapels, I encountered God and my self-confidence was restored.”
JAMES K. · UC BERKELEY
“After growing up in Korea and moving to the United States during high school, it was very hard for me to adjust. With a language barrier and lack of motivation from public school, I found myself lost and unsure of my future. When I heard about WMS, I was very excited with what the school had to offer. Principal Chung instilled in me a sense of self-determination that allowed me to study hard and do my best. Now, looking back as a graduate, I have nothing but thanks and gratitude towards WMS. I would encourage any student who has the motivation to excel academically and open a future full of opportunity.”
CHRIS S. · UC BERKELEY
“Before coming to Wisdom Mission School, I was very unhappy. At the highly competitive public high school, I was never seeing the results of my efforts. At WMS, I became motivated and happy. I have gained a new look on life and a goal to reach for. WMS helped me mature spiritually, mentally, and academically. Thank you, God, Pastor Chung, and WMS, my life has changed, and I hope I can do the same for another.”
GLORIA S. · UC DAVIS
