About Us
In addition, we focus on international education, where children acquire creativity and an international mindset while utilizing English, and we support children's growth under the motto of "Play, Learn, and Grow in English".
Our goal is to nurture children to become bilingual, creative, and internationally minded so that they will be ready to take on the world!
Five Points of Grow International School
①Fun & academic
At Grow International Preschool, our goal is to "nurture" children through an English environment.
We care for children's growth not only through short classes, but also by implementing a fun academic school life to nurture a true global mindset.
Teachers speak only English to the children, and the children absorb English in an environment that is similar to living in a 100% English-speaking country while living in Japan.
We make sure that all activities are fun and engaging so that their thinking can passively engage in conversation, which is the ideal state of bilingualism.
②Up-to-date educational methods
We also incorporate popular study methods from overseas on time. New study methods for children are appearing one after another in foreign countries.
We hope that our children will grow up with a more global mindset by adopting only those methods that are truly necessary for their growth.Of course, we incorporate all of the same events and customs as kindergartens and nursery schools in Japan.
We also offer a wide variety of physical education programs so that children will have no problem entering Japanese elementary schools.
We believe that in order to develop a global mindset, it is important for children to first learn about Japanese culture.
③Practiced with safety as the first priority
Colds, infectious diseases, injuries during playtime, and other unexpected events can occur in our daily lives.
At Grow International Preschool, our first priority is to create an environment where children can go to school safely and parents can leave their children with peace of mind.
We also strive to teach children what is necessary for their safety in their daily lives so that they can spend a safe time with us.
④Our “TEAM" provides strong support!
A child's life involves so many things.
For example, there is the risk of illness, hygiene, and injuries during playtime.
At Grow International Preschool, our first priority is to create an environment where children can go to school with peace of mind and parents can leave their children with peace of mind.
We also teach children what is necessary for their safety in their daily lives and guide them to avoid doing anything dangerous on their own.
⑤We also support after-school and parents!
We have heard from some parents who are concerned that even though their children will be bilingual upon graduation, they may change in their environment after graduation.
At Grow International Preschool, we offer an after-course so that children can continue to learn in an English environment after graduation.
We also offer an English lesson course for parents so that they can also speak with their children in English.
