Seoul Science High School is a magnet school (ages 15-18) for students who are gifted in science. The school started in 1989 and is located in Seoul, Republic of Korea.

Seoul Science High School is one of the 19 science high schools in Republic of Korea, and it is usually regarded as one of the best high schools for students who want to major in natural science and engineering.Fact|date=April 2008

Seoul Science High School selects its intake from the top 3% of middle school graduates [http://www.inca.org.uk/display.asp?CountryID=kr&SectionID=3&TypeID=mainstream&SubSectionID=2] . There are about 150 students in each of the first and second grades, and about 50 students in third grade. Though there is general graduation program (3 years course), early graduation program is also activated in this school. So about two thirds of students in the second grade graduate one year earlier than typical high school students.

Seoul Science High School has many national and international science olympiad participants and medal winners. Usually a quarter to a half of the Korean participants in the international science olympiads are from this school.

Graduates from this school typically enter Seoul National University, KAIST, POSTECH. Some students enter MIT, Stanford University, Caltech, UC Berkeley.

The school motto is: "Intelligence and Righteous Action (예지의행, 叡智義行)".
