Welcome to Iya Skola Ulsan!

 

We are inspired by the holistic teachings of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi, who believed that true education touches the mind, the body, and the heart. His belief in developing the “head, heart, and hands” forms the foundation of our approach: nurturing critical thinking, physical exploration, and emotional awareness in tandem.

 

Our early childhood program is carefully crafted to serve the developmental needs of pre-K to kindergarten learners. Through imaginative play, nature-based experiences, and a rich sensory environment, we introduce young children to school in a way that feels natural, joyful, and empowering.

 

Our campus is a brand under IYA Edu., an education company built on the expertise of industry pioneers working together to shape the future of education.
