Youth Korean Lanuguage Program(YKLP) : μ΄λ¦°μ΄νκΈλ°β€οΈ
The 2026 Fall Youth Korean Language Program (YKLP) is designed for both beginners learning Korean for the first time and continuing students who have completed the basic course and are ready to advance to the next level.
Our program offers a structured and immersive learning environment, integrating traditional Korean arts and cultural craft activities to make each class engaging, interactive, and enjoyable. Through this approach, students can strengthen their speaking, reading, and writing skills while also deepening their understanding of Korean culture.
The Fall 2026 session will run for 15 weeks, aligned with the SFUSD academic calendar, from the week of August 31stΒ to the week of December 14th, 2026.
We look forward to welcoming young learners for a fun and meaningful Korean language experience.πΌ
