About KnectLearn

Why Short-term studies in Korea?

South Korea is renowned for its emphasis on education, and hakwons (after-school academies) are a cornerstone of this dedication.

Hakwons offer a vast array of subjects beyond traditional academics, including: Korean language, English language, math, science, arts (K-pop dance, vocal lessons, painting, drawing, musical instruments), sports (Taekwondo, soccer, etc.), STEM (coding, robotics, etc.), and many more!

Here's the best part: compared to private lessons, the cost of hakwons allows your child to experience different activities, all within walking distance or easily accessible by shuttle bus. Also, Korea boasts a very low crime rate, making it a safe haven for children.

What You Can Benefit From

1. Personalized Learning: We tailor programs to your child's interests and goals, maximizing their learning potential through carefully chosen hakwons.

2. Skill Development: From STEM fields to Taekwondo and K-Pop dance, your child can explore diverse interests and discover hidden talents.

3. Korean Language Acquisition: Immersed in the language, your child will develop conversational skills and a foundation for future language learning in a fun and natural way.

4. Cultural Immersion: Korea's vibrant culture becomes an extension of the classroom. Your child will gain a deeper understanding of Korean customs and traditions through everyday experiences.

5. Convenience and Safety: We prioritize your family's well-being, offering conveniently located housing and meticulously chosen hakwons.

6. Ongoing Support: Our multilingual team is here to provide ongoing support throughout your stay in Korea.
