What should an admissions reader be able to see?

The student can explain what university researchers asked, how they tested it, and what their evidence cannot prove. The student then identifies the question, decision, result, and limit that belong to their own extension. Useful evidence may include a sourced argument, comparative analysis, research question, annotated evidence, and a revision that responds to feedback.

Questions parents search about Humanities courses

Which Humanities course is right for my child's age?

Use age as a starting point, then compare current knowledge, independence, and the work the student wants to sustain. This guide lists 10 active options and their prerequisites.

Are Humanities classes available online or in person, one-to-one or in small groups?

Yes. CIT offers online and in-person lessons at its Apgujeong academy in Gangnam, Seoul, with one-to-one and small-group options. A free readiness consultation confirms availability for the selected course.

What Humanities learning paths can parents compare at CIT?

Depending on age and readiness, families can explore paths such as AP English, IB English, and IGCSE English. Only currently listed courses appear in the catalog.

How can a student show understanding of university Humanities research in a college application?

The student should explain the researchers' question, why it matters, how it was tested, and what the evidence cannot prove. Then the student should extend one method through an independent question and document their decisions, result, and limits. Useful evidence may include a sourced argument, comparative analysis, research question, annotated evidence, and a revision that responds to feedback. A university name alone is not evidence and never guarantees admission.

How do parents check the schedule and tuition for Humanities courses?

CIT first reviews the student's goal, readiness, preferred location, class size, and current availability. The consultation and level check are free; the proposed schedule and tuition are explained before enrollment.
