Our Mission

and
To provide a life-changing adventure and life-long memories and friends.

Our Philosophy

Learn in the Classroom, Practice in the Real World.

This is our motto and philosophy of education. You can't learn to swim by reading about it. Even if you could, wouldn't you rather actually swim in the ocean than talk about it in a classroom? Then, after you've been swimming around in the waves it's nice to come back to dry land and talk to someone who has been swimming their whole life.

It's the same with learning English. We bring you to America; we give you the tools you need in the classroom; and then give you as much time as possible to swim in the Real World of English. After all, the real joy and reward of Learning another language is interacting with someone from another culture and language and opening our minds to new ways of understanding.

Our History

In 2008 Lasting Bridge was founded by Mitchell Nichols and Jonathan Wilson. Mitchell and Jonathan are 2 Americans who have been best friends for 10 years. They share a love of learning, travel, and adventure. Between them, they have studied abroad in 4 different countries (England, Scotland, Italy, South Korea) and have traveled in more than 24 countries.

Their travels and adventures brought them to Korea to teach English. Mitchell and Jonathan fell in love with the Korean people and culture, and after several years decided they wanted to share their passion for travel and learning with their Korean students by bringing them to America. And so Lasting Bridge was born to facilitate real lasting relations between Koreans and Americans.

We have a genuine desire to help you through your entire study abroad experience, and are excited to get to know you.
