Crowded classrooms combined with passive curriculum registration and exam-centered evaluation system prevent adequate education in Korean secondary schools. So the national education system should be improved in order to prepare students for entry into a rapidly changing global environment. In this paper, the American secondary educational system is reviewed and discussed with the focus on the American social studies education system. Student-shifting curriculum registration, general/advanced/AP class system, performance-based evaluation, integration of social studies education programs in a college, and student-centered education system are regarded as the actually excellent elements that are modified and imported for the improved Korean educational system.
