The program consists of Eye Level Math, which includes Basic and Critical Thinking Math, Eye Level English which includes four main concepts (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) and Eye Level Korean.

Academics
Mathematics
Eye Level Math has two main sections: Basic and Critical Thinking Math, which both consist of thirty-two levels. Students focus on the arithmetic part of mathematics, the four basic operations of mathematics (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) in Basic Thinking Math, including the calculations applied to fractions and decimals, as well as equations and real numbers. Through thoughts nurtured and real-life applications in Critical Thinking Math, students improve critical thinking by focusing on patterns and relationships, geometry and spatial sense (depth perception), measurement, problem-solving, and reasoning. Students are assigned to their levels based on test results, not by their ages or grade levels. The "eye-level" name means to look at the problem from the children's level. A teacher should get down to the child's level and see the problem to better assist them in solving it. These focus more on application to various real-life situations, and various manipulatives (blocks, bricks, cube, and pentominoes) contribute to their development of mathematical and critical thinking skills.
English
Eye Level English focuses on four main fundamental skills of communication: listening, speaking, reading, and writing. It consists of thirteen levels (including levels 6, 7, and 8). Again, students are assigned to their levels based on test results, and not by their ages or grade levels. Within the program, students have the ability to reinforce their English skills with such activities as Active Listening, writing prompts, and phonics.
Chinese
Eye Level Chinese (Only in China) is reviewed by Beijing University. It focuses on listening, speaking, reading and writing. They learn about Chinese characters by role-playing, songs, games and other engaging activities.
