Hyosarang Senior College

“Don't just live as old people — live as respected elders.”

Passing on a legacy of faith

Hyosarang Senior College is a faith-based school dedicated to passing on a legacy of true faith to the next generation. The later years of life are a precious time to complete our calling as parents.

Each class opens with the slogan “Let's gather, let's learn, let's set an example!” Courses center on faith that honors God with honesty, diligence, and truthfulness, alongside practical learning for daily life.

What students learn goes back out: they serve on nursing-home visits and on the Ensenada mission trips.
