Good working-hours academy

About the School
This English academy teaches elementary and middle school students through a book-club curriculum: classes are built around reading full texts, then working through literary analysis and discussion of them, rather than moving between short units. Because the program is anchored in literature, the academy prefers teachers with a background in literature or the humanities, and the reading list drives the lesson plans. It sits in Daejeong-eup on Jeju Island, in the residential and commercial district that grew up around Jeju’s international school campuses, and the incoming teacher joins two native English-speaking teachers already on staff.
