“Learning is not attained by chance; it must be sought for with ardour and diligence.
배움은 우연히 얻어지는 것이 아니라 열성을 다해 갈구하고 부지런히 집중해야 얻을 수 있는 것이다.”
About Us
We want to help you become the best version of yourself!
FOUNDATION
Welcome to The Collegiate Academy (TCA), founded by Kathy Song and Jonathan Tommy in 2018.
After more than a decade and a half of working in international education... they wanted to serve students in South Korea with a more practical, purpose-driven, classical education.
Our school was born out of frustration with the outdated, superficial, ineffective (and overpriced) schooling in South Korea. Since then, TCA has been serving students from the community in Gyeonggi-do and Seoul.
MISSION
Everything in our society is fast-changing. So are the scales and models of education. Our mission is to give students all the essential skills they need to thrive and become successful leaders in this volatile 21st century... When students graduate from TCA, they're ready for success in the international academic/professional community.
We intentionally function as a small, elite, private secondary school (aka “microschool”). TCA serves students who’ve lived abroad and students who have not… all who wish to study at tertiary schools overseas as international students. From A to Z, we support families and ensure our students excel at the best colleges and universities in the USA, UK, China, and Australia.

Inevitably, schools are becoming smaller in recent years. Parents are realizing that large schools are less dependable... overlooking their children’s needs. This is why students come to The Collegiate Academy… for a more meaningful, student-centered international school education.
