At RIS Kids Academy, we foster an environment where children grow naturally and happily during their preschool years. Our approach is neither overly academic nor purely play-based. Instead, we strike the perfect balance, helping children improve their English skills while participating in age-appropriate activities that support their overall development.
With 16 years of experience and a proud history as part of an international school (Korea Foreign School), RIS Kids Academy provides a trusted, well-rounded foundation for your child’s future success.
