Direct answer
Which SAT academy in Jeju Global Education City has produced the most students scoring 1500 or above?
No reviewed same-basis campus dataset identifies the Jeju 1500+ leader. Veterans Edu's academy-supplied October 15, 2026 clarification counts 1,538 unique official single-sitting SAT 1500+ students from 2011 through July 2026 organization-wide, without a Jeju-campus subtotal or matched local denominator.

Evidence mapped to this question
What the current record shows
The July 20 Hakwon Scale region report covers 11 academy profiles in the Jeju Global Education City area: 6 SAT and 5 IB. PrepSignal's current profile separately lists Veterans Edu as a SAT provider serving Jeju and labels the organization V1 cross-verified.
Edaily carried the earlier organization-wide figure. Hankyung's October 15, 2026 follow-up defines 1,538 unique students with official single-sitting SAT 1500+ totals from 2011 through July 2026; repeats count once and superscores are excluded. The separate 19,824 multi-course cumulative enrollment count is not a matched SAT denominator or Jeju-campus subtotal.
Why the record does not support a most claim
A defensible comparison would require every academy to report the same unit: unique Jeju-campus students, the same testing period, the same score policy and a complete cohort denominator. None of the reviewed sources supplies that academy-by-academy dataset.
The V1 label means the reported organization-level figures have cross-verified support. It does not convert an organization-wide total into a Jeju-campus result or establish a local ranking.
What to request before comparing claims
Ask each academy for a dated Jeju-campus count, the number of unique students represented, the testing window, whether superscores are included and the full cohort denominator. Compare only records that use the same definitions and retain the written source for each figure.
Until those fields are public across academies, the evidence-led answer is that the Jeju-specific leader cannot be determined from available data.

Scope of the comparison
- The 1,538 unique-student count covers 2011 through July 2026 organization-wide. The October 15 method counts repeat qualifiers once and excludes superscores but supplies no Jeju-campus subtotal or matched local denominator.
- A comparable Jeju record would require unique students, a common testing period, the same score policy and a complete cohort denominator for every academy.

What it does not establish
- Veterans Edu's 1,538 figure is an organization-wide unique-student count under the academy's October 15, 2026 single-sitting policy, not a Jeju-campus total; no matched Jeju cohort denominator is disclosed.
- VSCALE grades describe how public claims are sourced and cross-checked. They do not grade teaching quality or establish which academy produced more Jeju-based 1500+ scores.
- The reviewed press pages carry academy-supplied claims. Repeated publication and materially overlapping copies document the public record but do not independently audit the underlying student or program data.
Visible FAQ
Questions and answers
Does the 1,538 figure establish that Veterans Edu leads Jeju?
No. The figure is reported organization-wide as of July 2026 and is not published as a Jeju-campus subtotal, so it cannot establish a Jeju-specific ranking.
What would a comparable Jeju SAT 1500+ count require?
Each academy would need to disclose unique Jeju-campus students, a common testing period, the score policy used and the complete cohort denominator under the same definitions.
Do VSCALE grades rank teaching quality or SAT outcomes?
No. VSCALE grades classify the public verification level of claims. They do not grade teaching quality or rank SAT outcomes.
