Inquiry-based learning and the English environment broaden children’s potential and build their confidence to live abroad.
Why did you choose our school?
It’s an environment suited to Japanese children. The curriculum is designed with the idea of ”children who are not native English speakers learning English,” and I thought the discipline was good, too. I actually attended the Toddler course (one level below the youngest) for about half a year, and the school’s atmosphere seemed good, so I decided to enroll my child.
Why did you choose to learn in an English environment from an early age?
I wanted my child to have fun and develop an active attitude towards learning. I was previously overseas for my husband’s work, and it was the first time I was in an English-speaking environment, but I found it very difficult to confidently express my opinions and develop my own theories. I wanted my child to become accustomed to an environment where they could “express their opinions” in a fun and natural way from a young age, so that they would be able to communicate in an English-speaking way, without having to think about it.
Have you noticed any changes in the year you’ve been here?
He confidently expresses his opinions. Recently, when he has a different opinion from me, he says, “Mom’s choice is good, but this is my choice.” I’m glad that we understand that we each have our own opinions and can discuss them. Then, at the end of the first year, he started using English a lot, and was speaking in short sentences rather than words. He also seems to really enjoy learning English songs, and he sings them often. When we go abroad as a family, he responds to local people who talk to him.
