The Harbin No. 2 Korean Middle School (also Harbin 2nd Korean Nationality Middle School) is a school for ethnic Korean residents of Harbin, Heilongjiang in northeast China.

History

The No. 2 Korean Middle School was established in 1962, and received permission to convert from an ordinary middle school to a foreign-language vocational middle school in September 1992. It was the only ethnic vocational middle school in Heilongjiang province. Its conversion into a municipal-level standard school was approved in December 2010.

In 2006, the Heilongjiang College of Education organised computer training for teachers at the school and several other Korean schools in the province. In 2011, the school signed an agreement with the Harbin Tourism Department to train Korean-speaking tour guides.
