❊ Testimonials

What Makes Our School Special

See why students and families love learning with us!

Our experience with the Korean School of Greater Hartford has been outstanding. The school has given our adopted daughter the opportunity to engage with her cultural heritage and language in a supportive and welcoming space. The staff is kind, compassionate, and deeply committed to creating a strong, inclusive community.

— Lisa B., Parent

My advice as an adult language learner: don't kid yourself thinking language apps and TV shows alone will teach you Korean. Real classroom experience in a communal setting is definitely the way to go.

Korean School of Greater Hartford is Connecticut's best gateway into Korea's incredible culture, history and language, with professionally trained staff, affordable tuition and friendly smiling faces at every turn. Highly recommend.

Jeff R., Adult student
