Hi all,

I've been searching for information regarding this school for
about a month and I've found, quite literally, zero.

Does anyone have any information about this school?

Try "honors" instead of "honours", and "academy" instead of "institute".

I found one person who may have worked there http://www.linkedin.com/pub/leann-fickes/8/5a4/615

Another link is http://jkkorea.blogspot.com/2008/11/in-little-yellow-villa.html

Further research, it looks like their site is http://www.hrschool.co.kr/KGB8/main.asp

So, it's not institute or academy Confused

It appears to be just a regular hagwon trying to look more prestigious to get more students. In America, we have "Institute of Technology" (MIT).

So, it sounds like this HR guy (named HARRY by the way, see the HR?) looked up the the top schools and mimicked a name which might grab more people.

In the end, these are language "academies" run buy a guy who wants nothing more than money. If you can bring in the cash, you have a job for the year. Do what they say, have fun.

How do you like the school so far? I've been offered a contract there as well for February. I'm In the same Boat as you- can't find much info other than its been open at least since 2009. I emailed a current teacher but she hasn't gotten back to me yet.
