FOR TOMORROW'S GLOBAL LEADERS
Read the world in English. Think it through yourself.
Every week, read a global business issue in Englishand turn your own thinking into a well-argued essay.
There is no shortage of good writing about the world.
But writing made for adults
is far too hard for a child.
Katsby Business Review rewrites
those stories at a student's level.
Once a child starts learning about the world
with KBR, the questions change.
They think further in English, judge for themselves,
and learn to put that thinking into a clear argument.
I just think this one is better.
From a child who says whatever comes to mind
This is the upside, but there is this risk too,
so here is what I think!
to a child who reasons it through
What We Provide
From the reading
to the finished argument
A weekly magazine covering a new global business issue, together with
an online studio where students write about what they read and get feedback.
KBR Magazine
KBR Learning Studio
Product
More than learning English
Edited by specialists from Harvard,
Seoul National University and KAIST
The issues that lead the world’s
business press, at a student’s level
Built on global weeklies such as The Economist and The Wall Street Journal, each issue unpacks what a child needs to understand the world.
From passive study to active learning
Beyond reading —
saying what you think
Rather than taking an article at face value, students build an opinion of their own on the evidence and argue for it in writing.
Teacher editing & AI feedback
1:1 editing by Ivy League and SKY
graduates, with AI feedback
AI reads the essay at once and points out what to improve, and 1:1 editing by a teacher gives detailed feedback on everything from the logical structure to its strengths and weak spots.
Essay lounge
Read other students’ essays
and widen the view
Seeing ideas and approaches unlike their own, students learn to look at one topic from many angles.
Parent report
Past the score, to the skills
behind it
The report breaks the core skills down into strengths and gaps, and places the student against nationwide data for the same grade so you can see where they stand.
