ABOUT YES YOUNGDO
YES Youngdo English School first opened in 1987. Its ongoing efforts to improve English education in Korea resulted in the establishment of Youngdo Education Corporation in 2001. Today there is a community of twenty campuses with more than 240 Native English teachers in Seoul, Busan, and the greater Seoul area.

THE LARGEST NON-FRANCHISED ENGLISH SCHOOL
All the Youngdo English Schools operate under one-ownership instead of a franchise system to uphold the quality of schools. This has enabled us to grow and to become one of the most respected and successful English academic schools in the English learning community in Korea today.

CURRICULUM
YES Youngdo English School puts a great deal of emphasis in the curriculum. The R&D center constantly strives to improve the curriculum that allows for growth and development of both teachers and students. Students range from elementary 3rd grade through to high school. All learning aspects are covered through a reading-based communicative teaching method. Areas of phonics, reading comprehension, conversation, grammar, and writing are covered through different materials such as storybooks, leveled grammar or language arts books. As the students reach the higher levels, American school textbooks in English, Science, and History are used to advance their communication abilities.
The curriculum is well-organized and structured with plenty of support. Teachers are provided with quizzes for the main reading books, teacher's guides, monthly curriculum sheets, as well as supplementary materials. Teachers have meetings and workshops on a regular basis during work hours to discuss better ways of teaching as well as encourage professional development. Teachers with experience are also encouraged to display their individual flair and ability in the classroom.
