Cambridge Curriculum
01
Trilingual Education
​Our curriculum aims for students, by the time they graduate, to use Japanese confidently in line with Japan's national curriculum, to reach CEFR B1–B2 in English (measured by the TOEFL Junior test), and to use a range of devices and operating systems, including iOS, Android and laptops, with confidence.
Project-Based Learning
Project-based learning encourages active engagement and critical thinking as students tackle real-world problems, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject matter. It also promotes teamwork, communication skills, and the ability to apply knowledge in practical situations, helping prepare students for future careers and lifelong learning.
​
We use it across subjects so that language learning and subject learning support each other.
Hands-On, Interactive Lessons
Rather than working through a textbook page by page, our teachers build interactive, hands-on lessons with materials they choose and create themselves, so students learn by doing, discussing and experimenting.
​
All our teachers are experienced specialists in their fields who use materials of their own choosing to create interactive, engaging, and memorable lessons.
Integrated Technology
Technology is part of most of our lessons. From Grade 1, students build digital skills in Programming lessons using iPads, Android tablets and laptops, and then use those skills in other subjects such as English. Students also learn with a range of educational technology (EdTech) platforms.
