Daytime kindergarten

About the School
This English kindergarten in Wonhyo-ro, Yongsan-gu, Seoul runs two separate immersion streams rather than one blended track. The kindergarten stream is built around thematic units that deliberately carry across physical, cognitive, social and emotional development, so a single topic runs through activities for weeks instead of resetting lesson to lesson. The elementary stream is a literacy program organized around six strands, listening, speaking, reading, writing, viewing and representing, with targets set for each child individually as well as for small groups. Instruction is overseen by a native English-speaking academic director, and teachers work through a structured professional development program that runs across the full year, so an incoming teacher is trained into the method rather than left to improvise it. Six native English-speaking teachers are already on staff alongside Korean teachers with early childhood education backgrounds.
