EduCativ Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 J’s International School was founded by two mothers whose children, a boy and a girl, were close friends, both attending international schools in Japan. The boy, Jason, was studying to become a math teacher when he tragically lost his life in an accident in the U.S.A. The girl continued her studies to become an early childhood educator. Together the mothers felt that establishing a school for early childhood development would be a meaningful tribute to Jason’s life as well as the girl’s love of teaching. The two mothers combined their many years of experience in child-rearing and teaching English to create J’s – a school named after the first letter of their children's names and of course Japan. Grateful that their children had the privilege of receiving their education in splendid international schools, the two mothers created J's to enable other children to have similar opportunities. They are also very grateful for the support and encouragement were given to them by educators and parents of the international community in Tokyo. At J’s International School, our experienced staff members are committed to developing a child’s potential. We encourage children to be both inquisitive and creative, and in the process, fill them with curiosity, imagination, and the joy of learning. Studies have revealed that a child’s capacity to learn is at its highest during the first six years of their life. Our teachers show children that learning can be both fascinating and fun during these formative years. We strive to nurture your child’s natural curiosity to explore, play, mimic, and learn while at the same time encouraging social and physical growth, academic skills, sensory perception, and overall independence. J’s curriculum is designed to encourage your child to advance through the program at his or her own pace. It is a consistent and structured approach that allows a child to feel secure in their environment which is so important for their growth. The program is based on modern, up-to-date instructional methods and educational tools-making your child’s transition to an international elementary school in Japan, or a school overseas, as smooth as possible. Along with a high academic standard of Preschool and Kindergarten activities and curricula, we at J's aim to make our school family-like and fun in a very special way, a home outside of the home. Our dedicated teachers go the extra mile helping children individually excel in their strong areas and progress in weaker areas. Our goal is for children to love being at J's, from the warm welcome at arrival time to pick up time, enthusiastically showing their caregiver what was learned that day. We strive to make their first experience of school happy and enjoyable. As this is usually the child’s first school experience our initial focus is to make the daily separation a smooth and easy transition for both child and caregiver. The teachers’ efforts create a fun, loving, and comforting atmosphere and one that every child can adapt to easily and feel safe and secure. Before long, the children look forward to coming to school and enjoy playing with their friends. We make it easier for them to take that first big step into discovering the outside world! The academic goals are numbers 1-10, introduction to the alphabet, colors and shapes, and writing left to right lines!
