WONDER. IMAGINATION. CURIOSITY.

We are a Twinkle branch located in the Mapo area near Seodaemun Station which is an active business district in the heart of central Seoul. Twinkle has sister branches in Daechi, Bundang, Mokdong, and Songdo. We’re surrounded by museums, galleries, palaces, consulates, universities, restaurants, cafes, and are only a two minute walk from the train station. Twinkle AP offers a unique curriculum that targets the top 1% of Korean elementary students. Our curriculum is designed to foster critical thinking and stimulate creativity through both fiction and non-fiction classes. Some of the subjects we teach are science, history, debate, creative writing, and essay writing. We are also planning to have classes for management science and artificial intelligence. Twinkle hosts various events per year such as our Annual Science Fair (this year’s objective was to build a Mars Colony and present it). Our mission is to educate Korea’s future leaders and inspire them to change the world. Twinkle students are self-motivated and communicate like native speakers.
