Our elementary school follows an American curriculum for lower grades (1-3) and a British curriculum for upper grades (4-6).
Courses (except for Korean, Spanish, Tae Kwon Do and Chinese), are taught in English.
We emphasize 21st century skills such as collaboration, problem solving, and creativity.
We further emphasize the importance of being respectful and honest not only at school but at home.
