Welcome to Worwick Franklin Busan Haeundae
Our campus reflects the spirit of “Worldwide Children in Korea”—supporting students as they build confidence and grow into future global leaders. We focus on each child’s individual learning journey, placing them in classes that match their strengths in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Learning here goes beyond English. Through a blend of subjects—Korean, science, math, social studies, and the arts—students engage in hands-on projects, outdoor activities, and creative exploration. We value not only academic growth, but also character—encouraging habits, independence, and respect in every learner.
As part of the Worwick Franklin Institute, our curriculum is based on American education standards of private schools and aligned with the International Reading Association (IRA) and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC).
