About the School
This English school in Dalseo-gu, Daegu teaches kindergarten and elementary students through a play-based, activity-driven program rather than a textbook-and-desk routine. Native English speakers work with children in small groups, and lessons run through storytelling, art projects, board games, cooking, simple science experiments, music, and active play, so English comes out of doing things rather than drilling. Reading work is built around award-winning children’s picture books, including Newbery and Caldecott titles, to grow literacy alongside speaking. Two native English-speaking teachers are being hired at the same time, so the new teachers start together and build the foreign teaching team from the ground up, working alongside Korean staff.
