Eight Educational Concepts
Formation of Fundamental Learning Ability
Students’ reading, writing, and mathematical skills are more than adequately developed, building a foundation for their ability to learn independently, while also taking into consideration the pace of each student.
Cross-Cultural Understanding
Emphasis is placed on improving English language ability so that students can develop the communication skills needed in this age of globalization. There are also ample opportunities for various cross-cultural experiences.
Social Awareness
Students develop the ability to understand the structure of society and the world from nuanced and historical perspectives, reflect on themselves, and take new steps forward.
Environmental Education
A variety of science experiments and field trips are held to arouse students’ intellectual curiosity and deepen their understanding of the natural world.
Formation of Sensitivity
Students enhance their aesthetic sensibilities by experiencing the joys of outstanding works of art and literature, and of creating and performing their own works.
Physical Education
Students learn the makeup of their own bodies, how they work, and how life works. They also learn to cooperate with others and enhance their physical senses.
Formation of Morals
Students learn that humans live in a mutually beneficial relationship with others and with nature, and that courtesy, fairness, and consideration are prerequisites for communication.
Media Literacy Education
Students use information technology, in addition to books and DVDs, to learn about the great power of media and develop the ability to think through media.
