English Class
英語科の主な目標は、活きた現代英語を紹介すること、また生徒が自信を持って英語で意思疎通を図れるように上達させることです。
楽しく学習に取り組むことのできる環境を作り、生徒には間違えることを恐れずに自己表現をしてほしいと考えています。
当プログラムでは、生徒のニーズやクラスの英語レベルに合わせたカリキュラムを組んでいます。
We introduce relevant and modern language aiming to have students communicating in English confidently and effectively by the time they leave us. As well as being dedicated to delivering the best possible curriculum, we endeavour to provide the friendly and fun atmosphere known to be conducive to learning.
We offer separate courses for advanced and non-advanced students. Advanced students use a six-stage Cambridge based curriculum, and the non-advanced students use the six-level Let’s Go series. Both courses incorporate the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing with attention to phonics in the early stages and more opportunity for writing and discussion as they make progress.

I.T.(Computer) Class
ITクラスでは、さまざまなハードウェアとソフトウェアを早期の内に学び、作業を共有したり、楽しむ機会を提供したりします。授業では、基礎レベルのコンピュータ言語コーディングを英語教育と組み合わせて、生徒の理解を深めています。現在、テクノロジーは、教育や日常生活のあらゆるところにあるため、世界中の中でも特に高度なカリキュラムを提供しながら、伝統を伝えるという、ハイブリッドなアプローチを取り入れています。
学校は社会環境であり、こどもたちはすでにソーシャルネットワーキングツールを使用しているため、慎重に見守る必要があります。しかし、最も重要なことは、こども達自身が安全にネットツールを扱えるように指導し、責任を持ったネットユーザーになれるように育てる事だと考えています。
ショーン R. ホワイト, M.Ed.
IT classes provide an early opportunity to learn a variety of hardware and software, share work, and have fun. The curriculum combines the basics in computer language coding with English language instruction to expand our students' understanding of both. As technology is now everywhere in education and daily life, we use a hybrid approach that maintains the best traditions while providing the most advanced curriculum from around the world.
School is a social environment, and our children are already using social networking tools that demand careful supervision. However, and even more importantly, we teach children to be self aware and ensure responsible use, to teach them to self supervise and become responsible net citizens.

IT classes include: (1) User Interface training with a focus on typing skills. Important now as mobile devices are overused. (2) Visual Block coding with MIT’s Scratch.mit.edu, code.org, and the newest HatchXR.com VR/AR resources to teach strategic planning and logical thinking. (3) Traditional PC skills such as word processing, spreadsheets, image and sound editing, and working on networked computers.
Music Class
音楽の授業で扱う歌は、英語クラスで学習した内容を連動させており、リスニング、スピーキング能力を培うことができます。歌に動作を組み合わせて教えることにより、生徒たちが歌の内容をより理解できるようにしています。またハロウィンやクリスマスなどの年中行事に関連した歌や、打楽器などの楽器演奏、リズム感覚を養うアクティビティなどを取り入れることにより、音楽を通して英語を学べる工夫をしています。
Children can experience learning English through music in the Saturday School Program. Some of the songs taught in the music classes reinforce what they are learning in their English classes. We also teach other songs and incorporate actions with the songs to help the students understand what they are actually singing about and to develop their motor, listening, and speaking skills. The older students will also learn songs as well as learn how to play basic percussion instruments and how to read music a little. All of the instruction is in English.
Music Coordinator：Johnny
The music classes in the Saturday School Program give students a chance to learn English in a different way and give them a different perspective on the English language. Music helps students express themselves more freely and offers a break from the textbook activities they have in their regular English classes by singing songs. The music classes also help and encourage students to have the motivation to study English even more.
P.E.(Sports) Class
P.E.ではさまざまな国のスポーツを通して授業を進めていきます。スポーツを学びながら、積極性を身につけます。英語でのルール説明のあとにゲームを行い、ルールを理解しているかを確認します。すべてのインストラクションは英語で行い、英語でのコミュニケーションを促します。積極的にクラスメイトと英語でコミュニケーションをとることにより、チームワークを学ぶことができます。体育は、安全な環境でスポーツを楽しんでもらえるよう取り組んでいます。
In the P.E. Department, students are encouraged to participate actively in a wide range of sports and physical activities. Students will be introduced to a range of sports from various countries. They will be expected to actively learn about the sport and participate enthusiastically. In the initial stages, students will be instructed in the simple rules, and at a later stage, they will be expected to play each game, demonstrating an understanding of these rules. All instruction is in English. Also, for their development, students are encouraged to communicate in English during P.E. class and to use the vocabulary they have learned.
The priority of the P.E. staff is to provide a healthy and safe environment for the students. Students will be expected to be active participants. They will be encouraged to apply appropriate communicative skills with their peers, learn team values and have the confidence, competence and motivation to pursue physical activity and skills required for effective lifelong learning.
P.E Coordinator：Ray
In P.E classes we teach students various kinds of sports and games using only English. Our goal is to provide students with a fun English environment where students enjoy learning and using English through playing sports and games.
Library Class
ライブラリーの授業は、音読、黙読、またリサーチの仕方を学び、本の読み聞かせも行います。また、土曜学校で用意している本の中から、貸し出しも行っています。ハリーポッターやナルニア国物語からマジックツリーハウス、オックスフォードリーディングツリーまでのさまざまな種類の本を豊富に取り揃えています。授業を通して、読書が好きになるような授業を目指します。
In this class students become familiar with age appropriate fiction and non-fiction books. Lessons involve storytelling, teacher led read-aloud sessions, silent reading, and research projects.
As well as in-class activities, all students are able to borrow books from the Saturday School library to take home. There are a variety of books from Harry Potter and the Narnia series to The Magic Tree House and The Oxford Reading Tree series. Through this program we hope to give students a lifelong love of books.
Library Coordinator：Elisabet
In library, we aim to give students the joy of reading. Students learn English through varying in-class activities that involve not only reading, but also listening, writing, and speaking. Students can also borrow and take books home from our library collection that consists of a variety of books from fiction to non-fiction books.
