Danwon High School (Korean: 단원고등학교, Hanja: 檀園高等學校) is a coeducational high school located in Ansan, South Korea. It is a state school, being under the authority of Gyeonggi Province's Office of Education.
The school was founded in 2005.[1] In cooperation with The Borderless Village, a non-governmental organization, in 2006 and 2007 it established a multiculturalism program.[2] Its motto is "self-realization." As of May 2013 there were 1542 pupils at the school.
Incidents

On April 16, 2014, a ferry carrying 325 of the school's junior class and a dozen of its teachers capsized en route from Incheon towards Jeju resulting in many fatalities and injuries.[3]
The school was closed until April 24, when it opened only for the 75 surviving juniors; yellow ribbons were tied to the school's gate, and a shrine of flowers and hundreds of notes to the dead adorn the school's entrance.[3] A makeshift memorial was established in a nearby basketball gymnasium, with a wall of flowers and dozens of photos of the dead and missing.[3]
The school's vice principal, Kang Min-Kyu, who had been rescued from the ferry, committed suicide a few days after the disaster.[4]
