For children, the best way to learn is in a fun way where they feel like they are playing!
We help them build their English skills as well as their agency, creativity, logical thinking and cooperation skills through inquiry-based learning.
The children are growing so much everyday through these stimulating classes!

ELA / Maths
During ELA, children not only listen and speak in English but also build their English skills through reading and writing.
Rather than memorizing how to solve problems, they learn to incorporate math into their daily lives by finding answers on their own. They deepen their understanding of mathematical ideas such as quantity and shapes in both Japanese and English.

Japanese / UOI(Japanesed)
Three times a week, teachers read picture books aloud to the children. The children also do crafts, read aloud, and read and write. They become familiar with Japanese children’s stories and hand-clap songs, as well as Japanese culture and special events.
For inquiry-based learning, they learn about familiar social structures around them bilingually. This cultivates multicultural understanding and creative thinking skills, to help them become learners with a global perspective.

Closing circle time/snacks
After the children reflect on their day, they pack up and get ready to go home. Everyone gathers and eats snacks together.
For snacks, they bring healthy items such as fruits and rice balls. They enjoy eating with their friends everyday.
