The world our students will step into is increasingly global. We believe Korea's best English education shouldn't draw only from Korea's classrooms — it should draw from how the world's best companies and institutions teach, train, and develop talent.
That belief led us to build a network of long-term partners whose work informs how we think about learning at Scranton. They are not external consultants. They are part of how the academy thinks.
