About the School
This well-established English academy in Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul runs a structured, level-based English program for kindergarten and elementary students, from age five through the sixth grade. An established team of nine current native English-speaking teachers works alongside experienced Korean staff, so new teachers join a large, collaborative foreign-teacher team rather than starting alone. The program emphasizes native-speaker immersion and steady speaking practice, with clear level progression as students move from kindergarten into elementary, in the Jangan-dong area of Dongdaemun-gu in eastern Seoul.
