After School Native-level English
For Children, Native and Advanced
Would you like your child to have the freedom to attend a good English-language university or pursue a career using English?
She or he will need much more than daily conversation ability in order to make these choices realistic.
If your child speaks English but attends school in Japanese here in Fukuoka, we can help her or him blossom in their English language abilities and international environments and live a more fulfilling life.
A Strategic Learning Environment
This after-school program combines strategic learning with free play in English for a highly efficient and fun educational environment.
In the classroom, an experienced expert uses our child-centered learning approach that makes discovery and skill building, including reading and writing, fun and engaging.
But there’s also time for free play with peers and stimulating toys and games that offer physical and mental challenges. Here, children experience crucial authentic interactions, take responsibility, and gain confidence and independence through making real decisions.
Why Choose This Program?
We are a foreign-owned and operated English school with roots extending back over 20 years in Fukuoka. Our community engenders a love of learning, enabling children to live full and enjoyable lives.
Our organization is dedicated to help children find joy in learning and develop active-learning mindsets. Experiences with us help children develop character and skill enabling lifelong positive attitudes towards challenges and the abilities to engage them.
As a language school, with the constraints of young learners having only an hour a week to acquire English, we’ve developed programs of highly efficient learning.
Exceptionally skilled professional educators lead our classes and receive ongoing training and support with extensive professional development opportunities.
Furthermore, our child-centered, personalized approach to teaching enables children to find inspiration and the will to acquire skills and know-how from the basics on through professional levels of language use.
“We inspire curiosity in students, help them find happiness in growing and learning, discover new worlds, and enable them to connect positively to the global community—all in a manner conducive to becoming lifelong active learners.”
Preschool though Elementary School Children
Children at this stage develop the ability to understand and use English effectively through discovery in an inspirational environment. We play games, sing songs, and read stories not simply because they are fun. These activities are carefully chosen and used to practice language ability and critical thinking. Fun is not separated from learning—the children want to learn through this kind of fun.
