Teaching staff are five licensed and 24 volunteer language teachers.
The school operates an elementary school curriculum focusing on foreign languages, fine arts and physical education. Fine arts and athletic courses will be given on a one-to-one basis by expert volunteers from related fields.
There is no tuition and school meals are free.
“The goal is to bring up multicultural kids into multi-language experts,” Kim told reporters. “Custom-tailored one-to-one education will help nurture their aptitude and talents.”
