    All students are unique, and their daily study schedules vary according to their needs, abilities, and interests. Teachers will work with students on an individual basis throughout the day. Students follow the check sheets prepared by their teachers to keep track of what needs to be done each day to complete coursework and prepare for tests.
    The school day begins at 9 AM with a brief assembly of all students to enjoy some Biblical counsel, sing hymns, and hear announcements. After Assembly, all students help clean the school.
    Academic study time begins at 9:30 AM. Each student and the teacher consult the student’s check sheet to determine what the student needs to work on for the day. While lessons on the check sheet proceed sequentially for each subject, students rarely do a lesson from each subject each day. Students may work diligently on several lessons of the same subject for the entire school day if needed. Also, students do not miss lessons if they are absent. They can simply continue the next day they return to school from where they left off on their check sheet. Students have a short break time from 10:50 – 11 AM.
    At 11 AM on most days, students participate in Physical Education. When the weather is nice, P.E. often takes place outside at nearby parks. Students engage in a variety of sports and learn the necessary skills and rules as each activity is introduced. On Fridays, students usually have a longer P. E. session at local gymnasiums to enjoy swimming, basketball, badminton, or other sports requiring special facilities.
    Axis International School students may take the opportunity to spend time developing skills with which they are struggling or to work ahead in their studies. Students who stay on for summer school usually focus on one or two subject areas rather than the full yearly schedule of courses. English and Maths are the most popular summer subjects.
    Axis English School offers a variety of programs to help students develop their English skills. These courses emphasize different aspects of English language learning. Please let us know which of these topics you would like to study so that we can place you or your child into the right program.
    Children who have studied abroad in English-speaking countries often return to Japan and attend Japanese schools. Many of these students want to not only maintain their excellent English ability but improve it. Returnee students may choose to take various academic courses such as History, Science, Reading, or Grammar following the English curriculum used at Axis International School. In this way, students can continue to study at the same grade level as they were before returning to Japan, and also be promoted to the next grade level. Sometimes, students with no study abroad experience, but who have exceptional English skills equivalent to that of returnees, choose to take these international academic courses. For such students, it can be more fulfilling and challenging than regular children’s English classes.
    Axis teachers are all from English-speaking countries. They are selected after careful screening for accents and speech problems. Currently, we have After School English teachers from Canada, South Africa, and the United States.
    We use many games and songs to help children learn basic vocabulary and phrases. Teachers will work to get English beginners to show a physical response to a verbal command. After School English classes can motivate new English learners who are eager to join in activities with their peers
    After School English at Axis provides children an opportunity to improve their English through group lessons in the afternoons. These lessons are great for returnee children and those students who studied English before beginning Japanese school full time. Children in After School English classes can enjoy using their English to interact with others while continuing to improve their comprehension, conversation, and grammar. School students benefit from small class sizes with native English-speaking teachers. Students who want additional one-on-one classes with an English teacher may also sign up for courses in Axis English School.
    In adult classes, we study different themes and topics in the Bible. We also go through specific books in the Bible. Some classes are in a series while some are unique. Students may also request a specific topic. We hope that there is something for everyone!
    Children’s Bible class centers on Bible stories of particular interest to young children with an emphasis on developing personal values, respect for ourselves and others, and love for God’s creation.
    We understand that in the case of discipline, various measures will be used in increasing intensity, and the parents will be informed of all disciplinary action taken. We encourage the parents to talk with the teacher about their child to ensure a uniform approach!
