Daytime kindergarten

About the School
This English academy in Sokcho, Gangwon-do teaches kindergarten and elementary students through an immersion approach modeled on the natural way children pick up a first language, moving learners upward through a structured, multi-level curriculum as they grow. Lessons build spoken English through songs, movement, and repeated listening in active, participation-based classes rather than rote study, and the incoming teacher joins a settled group of three native English-speaking teachers working alongside experienced Korean staff. Sokcho sits on the East Sea coast at the foot of Seoraksan National Park, offering a calmer, more scenic pace of life than the big cities, with beaches and mountains close at hand.
