Programs

ALTIORA provides an ESL-focused education for young learners in Kindergarten, and Elementary (grades 1-6) following the STEAM education program. The lessons cover topics such as reading, writing, speaking, listening, grammar, and physical education.

The ability to understand the essence is built on the basis of fundamental language comprehension competency. Language comprehension skills are maximized when a foreign language is acquired as if it were a native language.

Language comprehension has a great impact on the development of cognitive abilities as well as the acquisition of other foreign languages.

For those reasons, Altiora's language literacy education is a collaboration between Korean and English.
