About Us
EDISEN Academy is seeking passionate teachers who believe they can bring out the best in elementary school children. Our institution was established in 2013 and currently has over 40 staff members and 900 attending students in two campuses, Daechi (Hanti station) and Bundang (Sunae station).
EDISEN admits students through a strict admissions process that ensures that our learners are ready to engage with advanced material. Their English proficiency is overall some of the highest in the country for their age, and all our students would have no problem immediately acclimating to classrooms abroad in English-speaking countries.
Our mission is to provide a safe, fun, and engaging environment for both students and teachers. In the classroom, students learn by interacting and discussing with peer groups while following the basic principles of Kagan Cooperative Learning. Your teaching will be supported and guided by a thorough curriculum developed by the EDISEN R&D Team.
