View original imageVeteransEdu, a leading admissions education institution, has launched a "Live Online SAT Regular Program" this fall to help students in the Americas, including the United States and Canada, successfully prepare for college entrance exams.
Until now, Korean students living in the United States primarily relied on attending special SAT courses in Korea during school breaks. This method entailed repeated costs for flights and accommodation, as well as experiencing learning gaps during the semester. Real-time online classes have emerged as an alternative, but when class times are only announced based on Korean Standard Time, it is difficult for US-based students to determine the local time of lessons, leading to concerns about having to take classes at dawn—a so-called "dawn class" scenario.
■ How were concerns about "dawn classes" addressed?
This fall regular program dedicated to the Americas is scheduled for Sunday mornings in Korean Standard Time. Due to a 13- to 17-hour time difference between Korea and the United States, this corresponds to weekend afternoons or evenings in the United States. Classes are divided according to students’ target score ranges, with separate tracks provided for students more comfortable with English, as well as mixed Korean-English classes. Scheduling classes to fit the local lifestyle and time zone of participants is considered a key factor when choosing a real-time online SAT course.
As of July 2026, VeteransEdu has produced 1,538 students who scored 1,500 points or higher on the SAT. The company stated that the Americas program is operated using the same instructors, textbooks, and mock exam system as its regular classes in Korea.
The head instructor at VeteransEdu commented, "In the United States, the timing of the class is calculated before the content," emphasizing, "Instead of making students adjust to the time difference, we tailored the timetable to accommodate the time difference itself."
Thanks to interactive communication comparable to offline classrooms and data-driven, detailed analysis of weaknesses, the limitations of physical distance have effectively been broken down.
■ Does semester-long student support still apply online?
VeteransEdu explained that as students begin SAT preparation earlier—typically in 8th or 9th grade—there has been a growing number of inquiries from parents in the Americas seeking ongoing support during the semester, as it is becoming increasingly difficult to prepare with only summer break intensives. During the semester, key elements for students include assignment checks, error analysis, and parent progress reports. The company stated that online students also receive assignment checks and grade reports on the same cycle as students attending classes in Korea.
The Americas program includes not only regular lessons but also supplementary classes. In addition to the SAT, Math and AP courses are provided exclusively for students in the Americas. The program is structured so that after the SAT, students can continue with AP and TOEFL preparation, and apply for the special overseas admissions track (special admissions for overseas Koreans), allowing all pre- and post-return academic planning to be managed by a single institution.
The head instructor remarked, "Contrary to expectations that online classes would be loosely managed, assignment checks operating on local time determine the success of semester-long enrollment," adding, "During the semester, we maintain progress through live classes and guide students on switching to on-campus classes in Korea during school breaks."
