Her father, Min-jun, was an artist. He made amazing paintings that were loved, but deserved to be more famous. Her mother, Garam, worked some job in the business field... Nabi didn't really care to know, nor did her mother care to tell her. They weren't very close at all. Garam was a very stoic woman and never showed much emotion to Nabi - or anyone for that matter. Their relationship did not get any better when Nabi's parents got a divorce when she was 11 years old. Teenage Years : Nabi attended Ulsan Girls' School for her early education, and when she was 15, she applied to the Ulsan Arts High School's art department. She loved art - thanks to her father. She spent many hours with him in his studio, watching him paint and him teaching her new techniques. All she wanted was to follow in his footsteps.. though she never thought she could be as good as him. Receiving her acceptance letter was one of the best days of her life. While attending Ulsan Arts High School, she became interested in sculpture design. She began taking more sculpture focused classes and really enjoyed it, as she did not feel the pressure of comparing herself to her father because it was a different field. On the weekends, and after school, she worked at a BBQ restaurant, saving money for her dreams of attending a prestigious art university. Her mother hated that Nabi wanted to pursue art, but what was she to do? She never cared about her daughter anyways. University Years : Well, Nabi's dreams did come true. She was accepted to Chung-Ang University's Sculpture Department in Seoul. The next four years were a rollercoaster of experiences. Min-jun passed away during Nabi's second year of university. He had been struggling with his illness, but never told his daughter. This turned Nabi's world upside down. Around the same time, she found out her boyfriend at the time had been cheating on her. Her trust was broken and so was her heart. Her grief for her father and her pain from her ex made her throw herself into her art even more. All she did was work. Nabi barely spent time with her friends and was always holed up in the studio. Just as things were starting to get better for her, she was then rejected from a post-graduate study abroad program to Paris. Many of her peers did get accepted to world-renown programs, but Nabi was left behind in Seoul. Adulthood : Picking herself up, Nabi began to search for teaching jobs anywhere that wasn't Seoul. In high school she had studied English for a language credit, as she knew it would be helpful for her in the art world. Thinking of the places she'd always dreamed on going, she began to search for jobs in or around Italy. Nabi always had loved the beautiful sculptures and architecture found there. Her search led her to find Gavatha Academy, on an island off the coast of Italy. How perfect. She applied to teach art, and to her excitement, she was accepted! But not as an art teacher. Instead she would teach art history - or more so art with a splash of history. She was happy for her new path and hoped to inspire as many students as she could through art.

A written syllabus that clearly defines the content, goals, and requirements of each course must be distributed at the beginning of the course, Information about examination dates and times, the policy on make-up exams, office hours, and the basis for the final grade. § 4. Professional Conduct and Interaction with Students. Instructors must report all suspected occurrences of academic dishonesty to the Ministry and/or Dean of Academic Affairs. Instructors should always be aware that in teaching and advising they represent the Academy. They are bound by the local sexual harassment policies. Instructors are also bound by the local policies that prohibit any consensual relationships with students that might compromise the objectivity and integrity of the teacher student relationship. Examples include romantic, sexual, or financial relationships. Instructors should strive to maintain the privacy and confidentiality of students' examination, homework, and final grades. In dealing with students, instructors should be polite, helpful, and fair. They should take into account the wide range of cultural factors and physical challenges that can affect learning, and should attempt to help students overcome any disadvantages. Policy on Final Exams and Reporting of Grades The Halcyon Academy Policy recognizes that the month of exams is an especially busy period for students since many semester projects, lab reports, term papers, portfolios, etc. become due. In recognition, Ministry established the policy, stated below, that any final examination, which could be adequately administered during the final examination time period scheduled for the course, must be given during finals months and not add another burden to the students' final month of normal classes. § 1. Final Examinations. a) Final examinations must be given during finals months at the scheduled time, which is given on the discord. Classes cannot occur when there are final examinations. Such permission is rarely given and will be granted only for the most pressing academic reasons. b) If there is no final examination as such, but only a series of quizzes, the last examination (or test or quiz) must take place on the assigned day during finals week. c) The time or date of a final examination may not be changed without permission of the BOE. Because it is likely to cause conflicts or too many examinations on one day for some students, such approval is rarely granted. § 2. Retaining Records. Final examinations and papers should be retained for one year. Where there is a possibility that a grade may be challenged or some other irregularities exist, it is recommended that relevant documents be maintained for at least one year and six months.
