We learn with our whole body
Pronouns, verbs and sentence patterns become songs, moves and games, so rules stick without drills.

Our philosophy
At GRAIL, language is care
Bilingual foundations, without leaving home.We move beyond rote memorisation and design programmes that build a second language the way children build their first.
Learning a language is more than listening and writing. It is discussing, presenting and solving problems yourself. We teach children to explain what they learn in their own words, spoken and written.

Why Grail
Every child starts somewhere
Same grade, different starting points. We place children by level, not by age, and move them up when they are ready.

Five chapters
Sounds → Words → Readers → Writers → Grail. Monthly reviews decide when a child moves up.
Live shuttle tracking
See when your child boards, where the bus is, and when they are dropped off, right on your phone.
Small classes
Teachers hear every voice and check every notebook.
Daily lesson notes
What we learned today and tonight's homework, sent to the parent app.

Life at GRAIL
Hands up, voices out, growing
From the moment they step off the bus to the last question in class, teachers are right beside every child.
Beyond the textbook
English you can live
As bilingual-education specialists, we make English something children use, perform and play in. Swipe to see more.
Readers' theater
Narrator, take a bow
Each child gets a role card, from Narrator to lead, and reads the story aloud together in front of the whole hall.
Projects & posters
I love my family. I love K-pop.
Children build posters about the things they love and the causes they care about, then present them in English.
Quiz & prize days
Answer, cheer, win
English quiz shows with prizes on the table keep the whole academy cheering for each other.
Drama & role-play
Stories come alive
Children dress up as characters and act out the books they read, practising real dialogue in context.
Storytime
Teachers who become the story
Teachers dress the part and read aloud, so children hear expressive English and ask for one more page.
Team missions
Solve it together, in English
Small teams race through puzzles and missions where the only shared language is English.
Theme weeks
A trip without a passport
Themed lessons like our tropical island week turn the classroom into somewhere new to talk about.
Speech & presentation
Every voice on the mic
Regular show-and-tell and speech time build the confidence to speak English in front of others.
Project Day
Every two months, on stage
Every two months, children turn what they learned in class into a stage performance in their own words, preparing together and growing in confidence.
Culture days
Halloween and other culture days
Project Days also bring culture experiences such as our Halloween party.
Our teachers
Teachers kids run to
Happy to dress up, sit on the floor and laugh along, our teachers are the reason children look forward to English.
Known by name
Small classes mean teachers know each child's voice, homework and mood.
Shared with parents daily
Lesson notes and homework go straight to the Parent App after class.
Teachers who play in English
Games, drama and stage days: teachers lead children to enjoy English, not just study it.

FAQ
Parents ask
How often are events held?
A Project Day is held every two months, with culture experiences like our Halloween party and a stage performance of what children learned.
Who teaches?
Director Seo Jin-young (English) leads the academy with the GRAIL teaching team. Classes are small, so every teacher knows every child.
My child has never studied English. Is that okay?
Yes. Chapter I starts from the sounds of the alphabet.
How do I follow the shuttle?
When you register we give you a student code and PIN. Sign in to the Parent App to see the bus while it runs, plus boarding and drop-off times.
Is my child's location stored?
We never track your child's phone. Only the shuttle driver's phone shares the bus location, and only during a trip. Location records are deleted automatically after 3 days.
How much homework is there?
About 20 minutes for younger children and 30 for older ones. Tonight's homework appears in the Parent App.
What are the fees and timetable?
They depend on the chapter and class. Please call 02-2299-7905.
