In Korean classes, your child finds the evidence for each answer in the passage and puts what they read into words, out loud and in writing.
In kindergarten, your child learns vocabulary, logical reasoning, and how to express feelings. In grades 1–6, they work on reading comprehension and book reports; in grades 7–12, they prepare for school exams and the Korean section of the CSAT (Korea's college entrance exam).

Children from kindergarten through middle school learn vocabulary in this same order.
This course continues from kindergarten into elementary school.
Kindergartners read children's poems and stories about positive and negative feelings, such as excitement and sadness.
We check your child's reading and vocabulary first, then choose a starting level.
Vocabulary follows one sequence from kindergarten through middle school. See the vocabulary sequence
Reads passages from middle school level up to just before high school, and answers with evidence from the passage instead of guessing.
Learns words that come up often in middle and high school Korean and takes a vocabulary test every week.
Every week, your child reads a book and writes a 1–2 page book report with an introduction, body, and conclusion, and the instructor corrects it.
Your child learns each grammar concept through vocabulary examples, then solves problems using real examples.
In grades 1–3, your child starts with words for feelings. In grades 4–6, they read poetry, fiction, drama, and essays, in that order.
In grades 1–2, your child moves from single feelings to mixed feelings. Grades 3–4 and grades 5–6 read the same works, but grades 3–4 look more closely at sensory language, and grades 5–6 at how feelings shift with the situation.
In grades 1–3, your child starts by finding changes and patterns and comparing information. In grades 4–6, they go on to statements, deductive and inductive reasoning, and logical fallacies.
Preparing for CSAT Korean and preparing for school exams take different approaches.

CSAT Korean basics
School exams
Your child solves questions under a time limit, just as on the CSAT Korean section.
For every answer choice, your child finds the evidence in the passage.
Reads the passages and literary works the CSAT draws from ahead of time, and solves questions on them.
Takes practice tests full of hard inference questions under real test conditions.
A quiz every class and an end-of-month assessment each month check whether your child understood what they learned. See how parents get progress updates
