Soccer (English)
Foster team play skills and basic gross motor skills through playing soccer.
Enjoy learning basic English language skills using an interactive touch screen (classes separated by levels)
Engage in music activities using English songs and musical instruments.
Children increase their communication in English through the process of “Curious – Act – Tell.” Children acquire basic English skills naturally through fun activities without feeling overwhelmed with English learning.
Little Kids: Enjoy art and craft in English
Big Kids: An original program that started this school year for English enforcement and enhancing children’s creativity.
Drama Kids is an after-school program where students get the chance to learn English through acting and play. Students participate in a wide range of activities that help improve their communication skills: from nonverbal to spoken word. Though interacting with the teacher as well as with each other our students acquire English in a relaxed setting where they also have fun.
We will make a hip hop dance unit with all friends in our class. Let’s enjoy together!
Little Athletes (Japanese)
Harumi Nakahashi, a winner of All Japan Judo Championship and a coach raising several Olympic Judo athletes teaches the class!
In Little Athletes, we will carry forward a curriculum with the aim of being a fun, strong, principled, and beautiful “friends who protect the world peace” in the mixed-age class.
K3 and K4 children are motivated to “do” and “want” by watching their older peers play. K5 children are motivated by being a role model and feeling “I can do better.” They can also teach by pairing with their younger peers, and they can also study the caring and tenderness.
As a small group instruction, children can improve quickly, and there will always be ways to improve cardiovascular function and physical fitness, which will also help to maintain your concentration that will be useful in the future.
We learn technique and grit with menu (soccer, baseball, rhythmic gymnastics, docketball, rope climbing, etc.) which went one step up from PE time.
Children believe, “We are little athletes!,” and become confident which helps them to become leaders that pulls everyone’s presence in the usual PE.
Ballet is a base for every dance.
By learning the basics, children can apply it to contemporary, jazz, hiphop, and other kinds of dance, and it broaden the possibilities in the future.
We would like children to become aware of beauty of music, expressions, and their personal qualities through Ballet as an art. We foster children’s expressiveness, their musical emotions, and rhythmic sense. We believe that it will be a long lasting learning experience for children as they evoke a sympathetic response with each other.
Children find discovery and experiences through scientific experiments. Children are also motivated to interact in English through the approach, “Curious – Act – Tell.” Children acquire English skills in a more natural way through fun activities without being overwhelmed with English instruction.
Little Kids: Learn English through familiar scientific activities.
Big Kids: A new program started this school year which reinforce English skills.
We dance together with smiles and pompoms! With dynamic music and creative choreography and formation, it is an energetic dance that makes audiences happy and excited. Not only fosters cooperation and teamwork, cheer dance will help children gain skills and rich expression.
We design the program for children to engage in the process below.
Curious：Offer a specific theme（Mission）- Provoke children’s curiosity
Act：Action to complete the mission – action, manufacturing, experiments, etc.
Tell：Present what we discover through “Act”
