Has anyone heard of these two schools? Located in seocho-gu, seoul. Is this a good location to live in relative to downtown Seoul? Thank you |

KNC sucks, even by Hagwon standards.
Run, run a mile. And then thank yourself for the lucky escape you've had. |

My kid used to go to Alphabet Street. I think its a pretty decent place, or I wouldn't have sent my kid there. It is 90% kindergarten, but not as crazy as some places. I can't speak for the working conditions, but when I've gone in there to drop off or pick up my kid, the place was secure (very important to me that they don't let wierdos just walk in, like the YBM kindie does), clean, and well maintained. They seem to attract good teachers, as they had teachers with B.Eds working for them, and even a person who had their master's degree. The area is RICH and a ton of parents are loaded, so you do get some good parental involvement which is nice.
Good luck. |

do a search on KNC. I've written a lot on them, as have many others. |
