| How does it work? |
The school is intended to keep Japanese students being away from home at the level adequate enough to make adjustment smoothly when they go back to home country after a few years stay in the U.S.
Over the years, the school has opened its door to local families and their children who have basic Japanese language skill to be able to follow the school curriculum. Currently, the number of children from the local families accounts for more than 20% of total students. 学校設置目的 本校には小学部と中学部を設ける。その主たる目的は、海外駐在員の子女が帰国後の日本での教育並びに社会環境に適応できる能力を維持できるよう、国語、算数(数学)そして高学年では社会科を加えて、日本語によりこれを補習教育する。 教育目標 * 責任と協調の精神を尊び、心豊かな人間形成を図る。 * 日本の伝統文化、習慣を重んじ、真の国際人として次世代を担うことのできる感性を養う。 * 学年に応じた基礎的な知識、教養、技能を身につける。 * 自主的に課題に取り組み、問題を自ら解決する態度を学習する。 | |||||||||||||||
