    Program Introduction

    This project isa family-style language study program where parents who are worried about sending their child to the Philippines alone can take classes and study English together with their children.It is an English education project in which children and parents learn English together and become an international family.

    Middle and high school students often think studying English is difficult and rigid. However, in the Philippines, in an English-speaking environment, children can interact with friends from various countries. By playing with friends they naturally speak English and can reduce their anxiety about the language. Also, the advantage of language study in the Philippines isthat, rather than using Korean, they spend a lot of one-on-one time with teachers speaking only Englishand have many opportunities to be naturally exposed to English.

    Need for English (0 stars)

    We provide professional and differentiated English education tailored to each student, targeting students aged 7 to 15.
    - Measure levels for each area through regular tests to monitor English improvement.
    - Provide tailored classes for nine systematically subdivided English proficiency levels.
    - Use customized materials suitable for various ages and English proficiency levels.



    The biggest advantage of language study in the Philippines isthat 1:1 lessons are conducted intensively and professionally.In countries like the United States, the United Kingdom, and Canada, one-to-one lessons are virtually impossible. These countries charge language-study fees three to four times higher than in the Philippines, yet students end up participating in group classes of at least 15 people. The larger group sizes mean fewer opportunities to speak English. However, in the Philippines, since students have scheduled daily speaking time with English teachers,they can quickly expand their range of spoken expressions.


    Are you curious about which teachers you'll be with?Over 80% of the school's teachers graduated from Cebu Education University, have completed TESOL courses, and have at least three years of experience. The school provides regular teacher training to continuously foster teacher development,and it utilizes the Cambridge TKT program to continuously train an excellent teaching staff..The teachers'skill maintenance is fully supported by the schooland therefore,the school consistently provides quality classes tailored to students' goals.It is possible.

    - 4 one-on-one sessions
    - 3 group class sessions + 1 group (PE) activity session
    After analyzing the entrance exam to identify weak skills, we provide 1:1 customized lessons tailored to your child for improved efficiency, along with multinational group classes with multinational students.

    (*1 session = 45 minutes)

    Location Overview

    Region:Philippines



    The Philippines, officially known as the Republic of the Philippines, consists of about 7,000 large and small islands. Most of these islands are unnamed reefs and coral formations. Approximately 880 islands are inhabited.

    In Korea, the Philippines is known as a place where you can learn English at a lower cost than in other countries in the Americas, and as a popular honeymoon destination. This is because it has beaches perfect for relaxation. It also offers the advantage of allowing you to live on beautiful resort islands and beaches and enjoy various beach activities while studying at a low cost.

    1. Kawasan Falls

    Kawasan Falls is one of the nearby attractions you can visit close to Cebu. It is known as one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the Philippines. Because the water beneath the falls is very deep, visitors travel to the falls by raft. You can enjoy a refreshing summer getting splashed beneath the falls. Looking at the cool streams and emerald river water will help blow away the stress built up from studying English!
