Eye Level Math Olympiad (ELMO)

The event provides students with individualized analytical reports to help them understand their strengths in mathematical reasoning and problem-solving.

Expansion into K-12 Education

While sharing the overarching "Eye Level" educational philosophy, Daekyo operates its formal K-12 school division entirely separate from its supplemental tutoring franchises.

Eye Level Integrated School (ELIS)

Eye Level Integrated School (ELIS) is a premium international kindergarten and K-12 school brand established by Daekyo in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, in 2024. Operating distinctly from the Eye Level learning centers, ELIS provides a formal institutional curriculum aiming for a seamless K-12 educational journey. The inaugural campus is located in the Thao Dien ward of Ho Chi Minh City.

Curriculum and Programs

The school utilizes a theme-based integrated approach, connecting a single common theme across multiple subjects. The curriculum prioritizes self-directed expression and logical thinking development within an English immersion environment.

Classes are divided into four regular stages according to children's age and developmental characteristics:

  • Seed Class (Pre-K, 18–35 months): Play-based learning focusing on basic emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
  • Root Class (K1, 36–47 months): Focuses on self-exploration and forming self-efficacy based on physical abilities.
  • Leaf Class (K2, 48–59 months): Utilizes fairy tales and storytelling to develop relationship-building and emotional expression skills.
  • Flower Class (K3, 60–71 months): Employs project-based learning to develop problem-solving skills.

In addition to the regular curriculum, ELIS offers after-school enrichment programs, including early childhood physical education, art, hands-on mathematics using learning tools, creative science, and musical theater.

Parent Communication and Evaluation

The institution operates an individualized evaluation system focused on each child's personal growth:

  • Digital Communication: The school uses a multimedia smartphone application to share students' daily routines, meals, and educational progress with parents in real time.
  • Customized Reports: Detailed reports analyzing the child's understanding and developmental status are provided once a semester.
  • Potential Badge: Instead of comparative grading, the school awards individualized badges in the third term that symbolize each child's unique strengths.
