Science high schools in Korea were founded for providing students talented in science with learningopportunities to maximize their potentials. However, it has been criticized that science high schools arenot appropriately operated due to university entrance examination system and other school conditions.Moreover, there are little empirical data to support the criticisms. The study aimed to investigate teach-ers' perceptions to the management of science high schools. A research method employed in this studyincludes semi-structured interview of teachers with open-ended questions. The interview was adminis-tered in October 2005 and 16 teachers were participated. It was appeared that the curriculum imple-mentation was conducted against original missions and goals of science high schools. The curriculumwas not met with potentials of students talented in science and rather focused on preparing for univer-sity entrance examinations. In conclusion, calls for reform of science high schools were strongly recom-mended.
