What makes us different
Every child learns at a different speed, with different strengths and gaps. Personalized teaching isn't a luxury — at Scranton, it's the only way we teach.
Each student receives the curriculum they actually need — adjusted by level, pace, and learning style, not by a fixed class schedule.
Beginners build foundations through phonics and story reading. Advanced learners connect grammar, vocabulary, writing, and speaking into real English fluency.
Grammar is never an isolated drill. Students apply each concept to read sophisticated passages and compose their own thoughts in clear English.
Singapore-based education-design and business strategy partners shape our long-term curriculum direction — a perspective rare in Korean academies.
English Programs
No skipped steps. Each stage of English — from recognizing letters to composing essays — is taught with the same care and connected to the next.
01
Students master the precise sound-letter connection through structured phonics, then begin reading real storybooks with confidence.
02
Beyond reading many passages — students learn to grasp themes, identify key ideas, and decode sentence structure independently.
03
Grammar is connected to real passages and original writing — so students don't just memorize rules but use them to read and express.
04
Students go from simple sentences to expressing their own thoughts in English — both spoken and written, step by step.

What Parents Say
"
My daughter used to dread English homework. Now she comes home from Scranton talking about the books she's reading. The level of attention each student gets is something I haven't seen anywhere else.
"
What I appreciate most is how the teachers actually understand where my son is struggling. They don't just push him forward — they make sure he understands first. His confidence has grown so much.
"
Director Mia took the time to really analyze where my child stood before recommending anything. That kind of care is rare. Our family is grateful to have found Scranton.
