April Gimhae

Number of current instructors: 4

Number of current students: 57

The brand new Gimhae April branch just opened up this past December, 2009. Located right on the outskirts of Busan, Gimhae is a medium-sized city with a population of approximately 45,000. The city is known for its natural beauty – one can experience the legend of King Suro by hiking Muchuk Mountain or go swimming in the crystalline blue waters of Jangyuedaechung Valley. The vibrant lights of the city blend harmoniously with Gimhae’s natural beauty as one is able to enjoy all the amenities available in the bigger cities. Gimhae is also home to Busan’s international Gimhae Airport, allowing one to easily travel to other parts of Korea.

The interior of the branch pops with its bright colors and it boasts the newest technology with Chromakey screens installed in the classrooms. The facilities are attractive and convenient for everyone: the young students, instructors, staff and parents. The branch is growing in number each day, so come experience it for yourself!
