The Nehemiah English School (NES) intends to grow global leaders through its free English program for North Korean refugee students. We aim to teach North Koreans English, and disciple/mentor them in life skills and empower them to be NEHEMIAHs for this generation.

This full-time school is specially designed for students who want to learn English intensively in English as a Second Language course. Students who enroll for full-time school will study on-site at our Yangcheon-gu center.

All classes will be done on a small scale of four to five students in one class. Besides conducting group classes, we will also run a One-on-One session for them to be discipled/mentored and empowered.

The seasonal courses are designed for students who are unable to enroll in full-time semesters so they can attend intensive short-track courses during the summer and winter break. The curriculums are similar to the official full-time ones, but designed to be completed in a more concentrated time schedule and a thorough manner. (Monday-Friday, 9a.m.-6p.m.)

English Education: ESL (English as a Second Language) Program

Spiritual Education: Daily morning devotional & praise, weekly chapel, weekly bible study

The 1:1 English Mentoring is designed for students who desire to learn conversational English but are unable to commit to full-time programs, such as those from other schools, undergraduate students, and graduate students. The classes are held on a weekly basis. The curriculums include online/offline English mentoring and on-site group studies in Yangcheon-gu center (except for those who reside too far away from the center). All online classes will be on one-one basis so each student can be paired with an assigned teacher, mostly native speaking volunteers, to be educated and empowered more on a personal and intensive level.

We aim to empower North Korean Refugees on their dream, and let them find their destiny in God through discipleship. The first NDC was held in California and Seattle, Washington for 15 days in 2020.

Many volunteers all over the world with the heart of God participate in NGI’s ministries in donation and volunteering in teaching. We pour all our hearts, minds, and strengths into NES in order to foster the next generation of North Korean refugees to become the next “Nehemiahs” to rebuild God’s Kingdom in North Korea after reunification.
