Planner's Tips!

The common class * Option A (21 hours per week) ends around 2 PM, making it ideal for those who want to study English while engaging in various activities. Use the remaining afternoon time to join school activities, socialize with friends, or enjoy personal time while enriching your English skills and experiences!

On the other hand, * Option B (27 hours per week) consists of both morning and afternoon classes. This option is recommended for those who want to invest more time in English learning and quickly improve their skills in a short period by addressing weaker areas in the afternoon classes.

 

- The curriculum is structured in 8-week units for each level. For those wishing to participate for a short term, you can join any schedule starting every Monday.   (* If Monday is a public holiday, the project will start the following Tuesday.)

- For participation beyond 8 weeks, you can join courses according to recommended start dates to engage in curriculum-based projects. If you wish to start according to the recommended start dates, please feel free to contact us.
