Herald Media helped establish Herald Schools Inc. in July 2000 to operate and oversee a network of Kids Herald Schools, a network of English-education institutes for children. Aided by the premier brand and content of The Korea Herald, Herald Schools quickly grew to include over 60 franchised locations. In July 2003, Herald Media acquired an 85% control of Herald Schools and placed it under its direct supervision. Herald Schools is currently undergoing a revamping process through which Kids Herald Schools will be upgraded to an exclusive network of institutes offering English education and childcare. While Herald Schools has been profitable since its inception, the transformation will further solidify its leadership in the children's education market.


Herald Media has been a pioneer in foreign language education for four decades. Widely regarded as one of the nation's oldest and most popular language education providers, Herald Media offers more than 30 courses in English, Japanese, French and Chinese language education at two institutes in Ulchiro and Myong-dong. In July 2003, Herald Media also founded Herald Education Inc., a subsidiary to oversee a network of language education institutes for students and adults. For its first project, Herald Education plans to launch a grand-scale language institute at a prime location in the Kangnam region of Seoul. Herald Media plans to consolidate all its language institutes for adults into Herald Education in the future.


In April 2003, Herald Media and SK Telecom entered into an exclusive agreement to launch "Korea Herald Premium Service," English-language education services via digital devices. Herald Media went on to found Digital Herald Inc. as the operating vehicle for the services. The integrated services, which bundle educational content for various types of digital tools, bring together daily news content, audio versions of articles, and translations of content from The Korea Herald, as well as instruction tutorials and testing services. All of the services can be accessed via the Internet, mobile phones and other high-tech digital tools, such as PDAs and MP3 players. "Korea Herald Premium Service" was successfully launched in June 2003.
