History

Established in 2008.

In 1975, Dr. Youngjoong Kang established a Math institute in Korea that would become the birthplace of noonnoppi, the concept that instructors must become students of their own students to truly know their abilities and attitudes toward learning. Since its founding in 1886 by Dr. Kang, Kaekyo has applied the concept of noonnoppie to help more than two million students. When expanding t the U.S., Asia-​Pacific, and may other global markets, Daekkyo applied the same concept to its Math and English programs. Daekyo is a global frontrunner in education, with more than 950 Eye Level centers around the world. Enopi was the name originally used in the U.S. and in Northbrook, IL when Shannan Layette first opened this learning center. Since then the name has changed to its English version as Enopi translated to Eye Level worldwide expect for Korea.
