Shine Learning Center offers a variety of specialized classes in art, English language arts and writing, mathematics, and programming/robotics. Our goal is to improve our students’ academic understanding and knowledge base, which, in turn, will contribute to students’ overall academic achievement. Apart from fostering academic success, Shine’s programs provide students with a strong foundation in English reading, writing, and speaking. Shine further supports students to develop their creative and analytical abilities, which will enable students to achieve their academic and professional goals. Through using an inquiry-driven educational program, students become both critical thinkers and independent learners. Shine is especially passionate about cultivating global talent. Our art curriculum helps our students to develop essential artistic fundamental skills and a creative voice. Through our unique practices, students will have the ability to incorporate their insightful ideas into brilliant art work, which students can use to apply to the most prestigious art schools in the United States. History Established in 2006. In 2006, Shine Learning Center, directed by Kim Joo-yeon, started as an art school in Dallas. Since its opening, Shine has sparked much attention as a prestigious art school entering students in respected art colleges such as RISD, MICA, SVA. Shine Learning Center grew steadily with its professionalism and enthusiasm and expanded to Carrollton in 2012 where it opened systematic English classes.We found that students desired high SAT and ACT scores but lacked reading comprehension skills. Therefore, we felt it necessary to open English classes after comparison, study, and analysis. Shine Learning Center has concluded that when reading a book, reading comprehension impacts academic achievement. Currently, English classes have been successfully established, and Shine Learning Center is continuing to expand in various subjects such as mathematics and science at the request of parents.
