Our School
Our academy is different to most in that it is foreign owned.

I am from Ireland and my wife is Korean, so we avoid the language, cultural and communication problems experienced at other schools.

We have been in operation for 10 years and during this time we have successfully expanded and opened two additional schools.

We are always striving to improve and grow as a team.

We offer a great working environment and have an excellent staff retention rate.

We teach children from the age of 8 to 13 and value teacher-student interaction.

Our taught classes are complimented by our language lab where students practice their reading, writing and comprehension skills.
