Kids Program
At Brooklyn Korean School, the goal of our classes is to help students develop their Korean language proficiency in an immersive environment. We aim to equip students with the necessary skills to communicate effectively in both spoken and written forms. Our curriculum focuses on Korean grammar, vocabulary, and writing, as well as listening and reading comprehension.
Additionally, we incorporate cultural activities and discussions that allow students to deepen their understanding of Korean culture and society. Our goal is for students to feel confident in their Korean language abilities and to have a greater appreciation for the beauty of the language and culture.
Our 12-week session meets Saturday mornings from 9:30 am-11:30 am. Students will be placed into classes based on their age and level to learn the Korean language, culture, and heritage by incorporating songs, crafts, storytelling, and games.
We will be accepting students ages 5 and up (born in 2019) for our 2024-2025 school year.
