Our first international friendship program was started in 1983.
Since there was no Internet access, it was so difficult to communicate with a any foreign kindergartens.
It took a few months to deliver children’s pictures and letters oversea by international postal service.
Therefore, we gave up to keep in touch with the kindergarten.

If children can interact with the same aged children of the world in their
early childhood, which is said to foster the foundation of personality formation (character and values), we believe that they can feel different cultures and customs from experiences.

So we had looked for the next opportunity for international exchange for a long time.

And the time has passed and the era has entered the advanced information society.

Thanks to the rapid development of communication networks and various ICT devices, we got new educational environment where children can do international exchange easily. In addition, the era has become a global society, education for cross-cultural understanding, multicultural coexistence has become more noticeable.
　From 2015, some teachers from around the world who have the same motivation

This class will help children whose native language is not Japanese to learn Japanese. Our lesson are centered on the basic reading and writing of the Japanese language required for entering the local elementary schools. English- and Chinese-speaking personnel are available in the class. An additional English class is also available for the children who plan to move to an English- speaking area in the future.

The instructors are specialists who studied ESL (English as a Second Language) and Class Management programs at the University and Graduate School levels. They will review the individual situations to form the appropriate personal plan. The English- speaking instructors with an elementary school teacher’s license will see of the children have reached a satisfactory level to be applicable for elementary school, and will make up for the insufficient parts, if not.
