영어공부는 수학과 달리 우리의 실생활 속에서 이루어져야 합니다. 

수학이나 과학처럼 영어를 중요한 단어나 표현들로 공부한다면, 공부를 하지 않을 경우에는 곧잘 잊어버리게 되지만, 어린 나이의 학생들이 매일 배운 단어를 통해 커뮤니케이션을 하게 되면, 자연스럽게 높은 수준의 어학능력을 가지게 될 것입니다. 

한국학생들은 영어를 언어로서의 커뮤니케이션을 배우기 전에, 읽기와 쓰기를 배우기 때문에, 학생들이 배우는 어휘를 통해 가장 효율적으로 커뮤니케이션을 할 수 있도록, 또 마치 모국어처럼 활용할 수 있도록 알려줘야 할 것입니다.

Learning English is different from learning Math!
Far too often Parents associate learning a language as an applied study rather than a natural process. Like breathing, eating, and walking, we all learn to listen and speak before we were old enough to use our minds. 
Thus, when a child learns to read and write before they can speak, it’s just a matter of time (like math and science) before most of the words and expressions learned will be forgotten when they stop studying. However, if a student learns at an early age to communicate with the words they learned on a daily basis, they have a higher percentage of mastering the language without continuous study long after they reach adulthood.
Because all Korean students learned to read and write before they could communicate in English, our goals are to teach the students how to communicate with the words they already learned, and to finally use the English language to communicate their thoughts and expressions similar to how they mastered their first language.

숙제는 스트레스가 아닙니다. 

숙제는 정답을 맞추는 것에 초점을 맞추는 것이 아니라, 학생들의 부족한 부분을 발견하고, 선생님들이 그 부분을 더욱 도와줄 수 있도록 하는데 더 중요한 의미를 가집니다. 

Stress from Homework!
If you ask majority of Poly Magnet parents, what is the most stressful part about sending their child to an English school, they would say ““homework.””
However, this is derived from a misguided fact that ““homework is the key for improving English””and the only way to complete homework is to answer all the questions perfectly!”” It’s not!
Homework is just one of many tools or ““x-ray”” that we use to determine which skills each child needs help in the classroom. Similar to a medicine, overdose of homework can turn into a negative effect rather than a positive one. Homework is most effective and useful when a student take their time and comfortably (without worrying about being incorrect) tries to answer all the questions as best they can without over-thinking or over-stressing.
This way, a teacher can better evaluate where/why the student is having difficulties and improvements in certain areas. A student who spends endless hours trying to get all the questions correct isno benefit to the student nor the teachers trying to help the student. A parent and a student should never be stressed from doing homework as it’s just a small piece of the bigger puzzle to determine how we can support the student most effectively. Not to place burden or to judge them accordingly to their homework result.  However, if a student doesn’t attempt to complete their homework, teachers can’t help them improve their language skills. Finishing the homework is more important than how many right and wrong!
