About Us

More Than a Classroom — It's a Home Away from Home

Founded by and for the Korean community in Louisville, our school was born from a simple belief: that every child deserves the chance to speak, read, and write in Korean — and to feel proud of the culture that shapes them.

Located on Six Mile Lane, we serve families across the greater Louisville area who want their children to maintain a connection to Korea — whether through heritage, family ties, or personal curiosity. Our curriculum balances language instruction with cultural immersion: holidays, calligraphy, traditional music, and storytelling are all part of the experience.

We welcome students of all backgrounds and experience levels. Whether your child has never studied Korean or is already reading Hangul fluently, there is a place for them here.
