INFORMATION FOR ENROLLED STUDENTS
-
Please write your name in English on all of your belongings.
Please bring a drink (water bottle), cutlery (spoon, fork, chopsticks, etc.), inner shoes, and hand paper.
-
For students with allergies, please bring your own lunch as we are unable to provide lunch for students with allergies during seasonal events.
Furthermore, during seasonal events we are unable to accept students requiring the use of an EpiPen due to the lack of medical staff available.
Since the administration of medication to children is a “medical procedure” as defined by law, instructors and staff do not have permission to administer medication to children. Therefore, as a general rule, the school will not accept medication.
-
Q. My child speaks no (or little) English. Can he/she participate in seasonal events?
A. All classes will be provided in English. We recommend that children attend at a level where they can understand English vocabulary and basic English conversation. Basically, we do not provide class support in Japanese.
Q. How are classes organized?
A. Classes will be assigned according to age and number of students in the class. However, please understand that classes may be moved at the discretion of the teacher. We also appreciate your understanding that it may be difficult to accommodate requests regarding class transfers for all students.
Q. What kind of classes are they?
A. STEM lessons will be given on the theme.
Q. Is it possible to observe classes at the primary school?
A. We are sorry but we do not take school tour reservations from seasonal schools and events participants.

Q. Can I change my bus stop in the middle of the week?
