What is Brighton English Kindergarten?
Brighton English Kindergarten (브라이튼 영어 유치원) is a private English academy, known as a hagwon, located in Gwangju, South Korea. It is not an officially recognized international school, but rather a private institution that provides English-language education for young children. The name “kindergarten” is used to describe the age group of the students and the play-based learning environment, but its function is that of a language academy.

Curriculum and Teaching
The school’s main goal is to create an immersive English environment. It focuses on developing all four key language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The teaching methods are designed to be engaging and fun for young children, often using songs, games, and interactive projects. This approach helps students learn English in a natural, stress-free way. The curriculum is often activity-based to keep students interested and active during lessons.
Students and Staff
Brighton English Kindergarten caters to students of kindergarten and early elementary school age. The students are primarily Korean children whose parents want them to become fluent in English from a young age. To achieve this, the school employs native English-speaking teachers. Class sizes are usually small, often with a maximum of around 12 students per class. This allows teachers to give each student more individual attention and support.
Location and Operation
The school has a few locations in Gwangju, with campuses in the Gwangsan-gu and Nam-gu areas. Like most hagwons, Brighton operates as a supplemental education center. Students typically attend the school after their regular Korean public or private school day. The school’s hours are usually in the afternoon and early evening, from Monday to Friday.
