We’re "snow" excited to wish you a Merry Christmas! ⛄💙 Thank you for learning, laughing, and growing with us this year.

Happy National Cookie Day! Celebrate with one of our students’ favorite traditional treats- yakgwa (약과), delicious Korean honey cookies.

Yakgwa (Korean honey cookies) 약과 Koreans have been making and eating these beautifully juicy, crumbly, layered cookies for more than a thousand years! Traditionally we had them only on special occasions and ceremonies, but you can make them whenever you feel like. Why not??

From coast to coast, our teachers continue to inspire with their commitment to students. We appreciate everything you do.
