Improve comprehension
and expression of sentences

Kinder class is based on the practical and active learning method nurtured in Junior Kinder class.
Children are not passive learners, listening to what the teacher says and answering what the teacher asks, but rather they learn through their own spontaneous actions (feeling - questioning - asking questions). Along with our own unique curriculum, standardized curricula is also introduced in a way that children can succeed at their own pace and level. Children are given a solid foundation for a successful experience at their choice of elementary school.

Develop individuality and
talent besides English language skills

Our well-trained and experienced Kinder class teachers are committed to creating a curriculum that balances the skills children need (thinking, reasoning, problem solving, decision making, etc.) to maximize their potential. In addition to a full range of activities that develop their manners, social skills, and sense of responsibility, we also want the children to acquire the confidence and abiity to express how they feel and what they think even if they have different feelings and thoughts from their friends.
