Our Core Values -The 3 Cs-
01
Consideration
Consideration and empathy are key components of social-emotional learning. By teaching empathy, schools support students' social-emotional development, helping them develop self-awareness, self-regulation, and interpersonal skills necessary for academic and personal success.
02
Critical Thinking
A vital skill for children’s future success in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing world undergoing the “Fourth Industrial Revolution”. Critical thinking enables them to analyze information, evaluate evidence, and make informed decisions.
03
Creativity
Creativity enhances language acquisition by encouraging students to express themselves imaginatively and fluently in both English and Japanese. It promotes critical thinking and reflection by prompting students to evaluate their ideas, analyze their creative process, and revise their work based on feedback.
Educational Policy
01
"Mistakes are ok! Try and fail, learn through your mistakes, and then try again!"
02
“You are the leader of your own Life. Think, choose, and
act responsibly. “
03
“Enjoy the moment but also consider the future. Can you think two steps ahead?“
