The Hwamyeong branch in western Busan is a medium capacity institute in an area with a lot of competing schools. It is lively and vibrant at night with many famous restaurants and modern conveniences nearby, such as bath houses, internet cafes and department stores. Hwamyeong is also generally agreed to be one of the best looking branches, with very modern decor and a spacious interior design.

Hwamyeong is a great location for those who enjoy the quiet life. Located on the outskirts of the city, this area is clean with clear skies and gorgeous mountains in the distance. Having its own train station for those exciting getaways to Seoul and its own subway station for the convenient trips into the city, Hwamyeong can be easily accessed from any place in the country. Oh, and if you plan on having visitors from back home or want to take a weekend trip to Japan, Gimhae International airport is only a taxi or a bus ride away.

Our branch has been open for a year and we have grown considerably since that time. We have been absolutely blessed with the most amazing administration and teaching staff. We pride ourselves on constantly improving the education of our students and also finding new creative ways to work with the curriculum and make it fun.
