JEWEL Partnership

Joining East & West as Educational Liaisons

교육을 통해 만나는 세계,   협력으로 이어지는 미래

What is JEWEL Partnership?

JEWEL is a division of Educate Together, a nonprofit specializing in school-to-school partnerships between the United States and Korea. We design, facilitate, and manage international exchange programs from an educational standpoint — connecting schools across cultures and building partnerships that go beyond a single visit.

We support public and private K–12 schools and education offices in both countries at every stage: consultation, partner matching, MOU facilitation, program implementation, and outcome reporting.

JEWEL Partnership 은 동서양 교육 현장을 연결하는 (Joining East & West) 교육 가교(Educational Liaison)로서, 실질적이고 지속 가능한 국제교육 협력 지원하는 것을 목표로 합니다.

양국 공립·사립 초·중·고교 및 교육청이 안전하고 신뢰할 수 있는 방식으로 국제교류를 확장할 수 있도록 기획–연결–운영–성과 관리 전 과정을 지원, 협력합니다.

JEWEL Partnership 은 학생들이 교실 안에서 세계를 만나고, 교실 밖에서 미래를 꿈꿀 수 있도록 가장 안전하고 혁신적인 길을 열어갑니다. 미래 교육을 위한 동서양의 가교, AI 시대를 선도하는 교육 파트너, 미국 뉴저지주 공립학군 5선 교육위원 출신 대표가 보증하는 품격 있는 국제교류 파트너십으로 시작부터 끝까지 JEWEL이 함께 하겠습니다.
