This school just opened in Dec 2007 in Chuncheon, but the chain has run since 1997. The Chuncheon campus started with just 70 students, but now has over 250 students and is growing quickly. All the teachers work as a team and help each other a lot. Elementary school students are taught half and half by Korean teachers and half by foreign teachers, but Korean teachers have more teaching time for middle school students. Elementary school students are taught for 140 minutes (70 min/class) a day (they come 2 or 3 times a week). If students come three times a week, they have specialized classes on Fridays. The curriculum of the middle school students is a little more focused on the public school's English program, so the Korean teacher role is emphasized a bit more.However, all foreign teachers will teach TOEFL courses (the speaking and writing part) for the students in the highest level, so the school would like to have a teacher who knows what TOEFL is, why the test is taken, and how to teach it.
