Afternoon academy

About the School
This academy in Wonju, Gangwon-do teaches English to elementary and middle school students on a structured, level-based curriculum. Rather than drilling for tests, the program puts real weight on literacy, imagination and narrative skill, with project-based classes and a strong emphasis on discussion and public speaking, and classroom work is supported by the school’s own digital learning tools. That focus shows in results: students from this campus have placed among the winners at national English speaking competitions. Incoming teachers join an established group of eight native English-speaking teachers alongside Korean colleagues, a close and supportive community that makes settling into a smaller city easier. Wonju is one of the larger cities in Gangwon-do, with a much lower cost of living than Seoul while staying within about an hour of the capital by KTX.
