This study was designed to conduct a survey to investigate the opinions of middle school principals in Seoul over the establishment of a Seoul public arts high school. The survey was distributed to 382 middle schools in Seoul, and 144 schools decided to participate in this study, resulting in a 37.7% responding rate. Based on the results of the survey, several important findings were discovered. First, the majority of the respondents thought that students with an artistic potential should have study opportunities regardless of their economic factors, so they supported the establishment of a Seoul public arts high school. Second, the respondents’ opinions on the plan for establishing a Seoul public arts high school was the following; a public arts high school should provide not only individualized education programs and career exploration programs but also adequate education space and facilities for major education. Also, reasonable fees for lesson instructors and arts teachers who have professional knowledge of their own majors should be secured. Third, the majority of the respondents argued that arts high schools should consider creativity development and performance skill improvement as their major educational objectives. Fourth, not only pure arts majors but public arts majors were chosen as the educational objectives of arts high schools. Regarding the school management system, a salary level comparable to that of public schools, 4-6 classes, and 11-20 students per class were considered appropriate. Finally, the current admission process focusing on the academic records and performance tests was considered appropriate.
