Who We Are / intoduction from EDUSMART

EduSmart (formerly GI Global Kids) is a specialized early-education consulting company founded on our hands-on experience running an academy and teaching roughly 500 students in the Vancouver area. Since 2002, we’ve operated early-study camps and, for the past 23 years, have provided honest, personalized guidance and services to parents and students who want to study in Vancouver, Canada.

Each year, we run camps of about 100 students and continuously develop and operate English-learning programs tailored to Korean learners. Our approach to early study abroad isn’t a one-time service—we help students build a lifelong roadmap and run our programs with the same care and responsibility as a parent. EduSmart’s managed programs include goal-setting, a professional oversight system, and a mentor–buddy program, and our students have achieved a 100% university placement rate to date.

Thanks to strong word of mouth from families, we maintain credible MOUs with the Coquitlam School District and leading private schools in the Vancouver area. Our organization is structured by expertise, with dedicated teams for program planning and management, marketing and IT, homestays, academic management, and department-specific support.

In an age of information overload—and misinformation—we don’t push cookie-cutter programs. Drawing on our own study-abroad experience, we provide honest, ethical, and customized advising. For every family, we carefully assess academic goals, timelines, circumstances, learning styles, personalities, and expected budgets to design a truly one-on-one, tailored study-abroad plan.
