Father School (아버지학교) is a continuing education program for Korean men to counter the traditional authoritarian father types who are workaholic and "not emotionally linked with their children or their wife."[1]
History
editFather School started at the Duranno(두란노) Bible College in Seoul during the height of the Asian financial crisis[1] "as an evangelical response to concerns over uninvolved fathers, broken families, materialism and other issues considered contradictory to biblical values."[2]
Father School has operations in 57 American cities and has graduated nearly 200,000 men worldwide since being founded in 1995.[1]
