Daytime kindergarten

About the School
This English institute in Eunpyeong-gu, Seoul has taught kindergarten and elementary students since 2012, with native English-speaking teachers from the US and Canada working alongside bilingual co-teachers experienced in young learners. Kindergarten classes are kept to about 12 students and run on theme-based units in which listening, speaking, reading and writing are taught together through a whole language approach rather than as separate subjects, supported by total physical response, educational drama, and specialist-led music, art, physical education, cooking and science and math sessions. The elementary side splits into a beginner phonics track for first-time learners and leveled classes for grades 1 to 3, where native and bilingual teachers share conversation, extensive reading, writing and grammar work. Both programs feed an in-house library of more than 20,000 print titles plus a 3,000-title digital library, graded into nine reading levels from kindergarten through Grade 8, with placement tests and online book quizzes tracking each student. Incoming teachers get a structured training program with classroom observation and feedback, and the school shares weekly plans with parents and sends a progress report every four months. Character education runs through the day and reflects the school’s Christian founding, including chapel and English Bible sessions.
