iGarten

i-Garten is the newest of Creverse’s three programs, and is a kindergarten and elementary program designed for students to enjoy learning while building key skills in English.

i-Garten focuses on integration, imagination and immersion. This approach to learning English consists of two stages. The first consists of primary reading, writing, listening and speaking activities to build ESL skills. The second helps students learn how to absorb content and output it through activities focused on creativity and imagination. i-Garten includes a key blended learning component where students develop skills on a topic by interacting in immersive games related to the material through Smart Boards and Virtual Reality. Additionally, i-Garten employs learning tablets and interactive projectors with touch sensors!

The integration of technology is not the only major differentiator that separates i-Garten from other Korean programs. Students are encouraged to appreciate imaginative and classic works so that they can learn how to  express their own thoughts and feelings through crafts, dramas, and other activities. Immersion simply means the sharing and exchange of other cultures and languages. To this end, using topics and curriculum from across the world, i-Garten students are motivated to think globally!
