Overview
Likescholar is a kindergarten and elementary English academy with a distinctive educational philosophy, rather than treating English as just another subject to study, they approach it as a language of thought, helping children develop the ability to think and express themselves in English. Rather than relying on franchise materials, Likescholar develops the majority of its curriculum and project-based content in-house, reflecting a genuine commitment to thoughtful, purposeful education.
The director oversees two campuses; one in Gangdong, Seoul and the Dasan campus in Namyangju.
