Full-time
Grade 1 – 6
Full-time elementary program follows an extensive and diverse curriculum, including practical life skills and multi-cultural understanding. Additionally, for the morning elementary program, our STEM program helps foster digitally literate individuals through typing, programming, and other computer skills. Students learn to master fundamentals and express their creative minds through our multifaceted arts program which encompasses fine arts, performance arts, martial arts, and music. Teaching and learning are differentiated according to each student’s unique abilities and interests through academic centers and individualized practice.
Timetable
**We will use Japanese elementary school textbooks in small groups to reproduce Japanese math, life environmental studies, science, and social studies, in small groups. Z-kai workbooks are also used depending on the student’s level of understanding. Please see “8. Optional Classes” for more details.
02. Benchmark Advance
We have adopted the well-established Benchmark Advance curriculum*, which believes in learning through reading, writing, and discussion. In this interdisciplinary program, the focus areas – literature, science, and social studies – work cohesively with language arts to help the students grow in multiple areas of knowledge. Students engage in critical thinking and discussion, building perspectives and developing content knowledge. Grade by grade, knowledge grows. Students begin each grade with essential background information, then expand their topic knowledge and vocabulary throughout the year. The Benchmark Curriculum is aligned with the American Common Core Standards and provides space for real-world perspectives. The alignment with authentic educational situations captures the minds of learners. The students spend 3-4 weeks on a unit,
exploring multiple texts around a central idea. As they progress through each unit, students will work on inquiry-based assignments to demonstrate the skills they learned. Science experiments, activities that utilize research and presentation skills, as well as art and craft exercises foster hands-on experiences with the unit topics.

03.Reveal Math
We utilize the Reveal Math curriculum and methodologies, which is based on the American Common Core Standards. The insightful instructional resources aid in effective differentiation and the promotion of a growth mindset. Students explore their curiosity with mathematical examinations and discovery that deepens conceptual understanding. The program has a variety of possibilities with purposeful technology that creates an active classroom experience. Each new skill is introduced with sense-making routines and a focus question to help students develop their own mathematical ideas before moving to the abstract concept.
