Welcome to CREVERSE CDI April Busan Haeundae
Our approach puts students’ natural curiosity and creativity at the center, using project-based learning to bring English alive through STEAM. Our vision is to cultivate 21st-century skills in young learners by integrating innovative smart learning solutions and digital tools into our in-house curriculum, backed by over two decades of research and development.
Our April program is designed especially for young learners in kindergarten and elementary school. It’s a joyful, creative space where children learn English through storytelling, art, and visual media. We believe in the power of self-expression, and our arts-integrated ESL curriculum encourages students to discover their voice in English from an early age.
For elementary and middle school learners, our Chungdahm Institute (CDI) program focuses on critical thinking, global issues, and communication skills. Students engage in debates, analyze trends, and tackle real-world projects—building the confidence they need to speak clearly, think deeply, and lead boldly. Our Smart Textbook system and Socratic approach help students develop thoughtful perspectives and articulate their ideas. Our campus is part of CREVERSE, Korea’s leading premium English edutech company for over 20 years.
