At the Yi Sun-sin American Institute, we believe that understanding where you come from helps shape where you’re going.

Our mission is to introduce Korean American elementary to high school students to the legacy of Admiral Yi Sun-sin — a legendary figure in Korean history known for his unshakable courage, brilliant leadership, and deep dedication to his people. He stood strong in the face of overwhelming odds and became a symbol of integrity and resilience.

This website is more than just a history lesson. It’s a gateway to cultural pride, leadership inspiration, and personal growth. Through stories, digital exhibits, student activities, leadership programs, and community events, we aim to make Admiral Yi’s values come alive in a modern, meaningful way.

Whether you’re writing a school paper, joining a leadership workshop, or simply curious about your roots, we’re here to support your journey. We invite you to explore, learn, and grow with us — and carry forward the spirit of Yi Sun-sin with honor and confidence.

You are the future.

Let his legacy guide your path.
