E.nopi of Ann Arbor assists children ages 4-14 who wish to excel at or beyond grade level. Classes are offered in math, reading and writing. The E.nopi math curriculum incorporates components to improve children’s problem-solving skills and spatial understanding, which helps prepare students for standardized college tests.

The E.nopi teaching method was pioneered by Young-Joong Kang in 1976. Kang is the founder of Daekyo, Korea’s top educational services provider, which today operates in more than a dozen countries and benefits over 2.5 million children. The new Ann Arbor center is one of 120 E.nopi locations in the United States and among 800 worldwide.
