Does anyone have any information on this school? I did try to search but couldn't find any info on this particular branch.

I don't know about that city, but just make sure it's not associated with the Topia based out of Jeonju. If they have the same owner... I imagine many people in Jeonju would recommend that you not sign on there.

i applied to a topia a few years ago, the first school i applied to in south korea. they lost my original college diploma and lied saying they never got it. i know they did. i got a new one but it was signed by the then-current president of my college whereas my original was signed by the president who was there when i was a student who happened to be way cooler and also record setting for a few interesting reasons. anyway, i have no idea about this particular branch but had to just put this out there. good luck to you with or without this school.

This is a review from a teacher who used to work at the Uijeongbu branch of Topia.

I worked at the Junggye branch for one year, and I had a pretty good time. The books are easy to teach, and there's definitely enough material for you to cover... you won't find yourself running out of things to do if you decide to work for Topia.
