Student Life

YES International is definitely a vibrant and exciting place to be.

Our teachers and staff are working continuously to make school life both educational and enjoyable for our wonderful students.

​

Let's find our about what kind of experiences students have both on a daily basis, as well as during special events and occasions

Language Separation

We try our best to issue policies that are based on the latest research into language teaching. One of our recently introduced ideas is Location-Based Language Separation. 

 

Learn about how we insure that students speak both English and Japanese in a stress-free environment.

Physical Education

With PHYSICAL FITNESS being one of our Core Values, our P.E program is designed to insure that students receive a balanced and varied system of instruction in which they can develop core strength, build balance, and improve overall physical strength.

Take a look at our indoor and outdoor P.E curriculum.

Technology

Rather than being a separate subject, or limited to Programming classes, technological tools are used across subjects and by all teachers in our school.

 

Find out how we utilise technology to not only increase interest and motivaton in students, but also to insure the smooth and efficient teaching of content.

Seasonal School

Field Trips

Field Trips at YES are a regular occurence and are planned, in some way, around the curriculum of the school. We like to insure that these outings are varied and not only focused on increasing our knowledge, but also making our bodies stronger and providing the students with both the inner and outer strength they need to become balanced individuals. 

Find out about some of our past field trips.

Festivals and Events

We do our best to give students plenty of fun-filled activities and post COVID we want to have more activities within the community as well as events around Yokohama and Tokyo across the seasons embracing festivals from all cultures.

Annual School Camp

We go on annual camp where we test our survival skills as well as have a ton of fun learning the ropes of camping and enjoying the wilderness and nature that we rarely appreciate these days. Away from the comforts of home and gadgets, we enjoy the great outdoors.
