Our school goal is to help children build their academic strength and have charming characters, growing to be a little citizen of the world. The school provides learning base for foreigners and working families. Children can learn variety of subjects and activities in English. According to the data, children who have enough education during their childhood tend not to commit juvenile crime. We concern about this data and try to provide good quality of education in our packed school facilities. Students have right brain training as well as cooking, dancing, violin, golf and indoor climbing classes by each expert teacher in English. Therefore, students can experience to hear and use useful English.
Students receive good quality of studies as the same as world standard level of early child education. And they understand English sometimes more than native speakers between 2years old and 6years old. With this 5 years, students complete PE, second foreign languages (Chinese and Arabic), grade 2 level of Japanese, and math. We also have various courses and consultation for children between 2years and 11years old for their further studies.
TOEFL junior test started in 2011. Japan has been latter by 2years than China and Korea to adapt TOEFL junior test.
STAR BRAINS opened our school in Kobe at the same time when China and Korea started TOEFL Junior test.
And we became the first preschool to adapt TOEFL Junior test in Japan.
In our educational policy, we educate students to contribute to the society for their family and country. Students look after school's grape vine in Kobe Winery and understand their local industries. At the organic farm we administer in Nose, Osaka. Students cultivate organic vegetables and the vegetables harvested in the farm is used in school lunch and cooking lessons. We hope that these activities connect to revitalize local society and help students reassure their identities, students to understand their countries, history culture. Also, interacting with friends and teachers who come from different countries will give children knowledge to understand different culture.
