The following is an introduction to CGK's educational curriculum and the faculty and staff who support it. Childcare and education are not mechanical manifestations of the policies of an organization, but rather, a reflection the passion and enthusiasm of all staff members involved.
We hope that this section will help parents and others to understand the quality of childcare and education that comes from CGK's policies combined with the diverse backgrounds of its staff.
12+4-Year Continuum Education
Continuum education from 2 years old until high school graduation. Continuity in our activities allows us to focus on education that is truly important for the future of the students, without wasting time on boring, repetitive studying.
The International Baccalaureate (IB) Education is an all-round education to develop internationally-minded individuals. Through IB education, we provide a consistent educational program from preschool onward.
Find out about the school's founder, his passion for education and the process of opening the school. This will make clear the source of our consistent philosophy and the motivation behind it, that is, a happy and prosperous future for children.
Today`s snack at CGK Preschool was "Bashamichi Aisukurin Fresh Bread(馬車道あいすくりん生食パン)" from Bashamichi Glaneuses (@bashamichi.glaneuses), a sponsor of CGK School Festival. The students were so happy to eat it and said "Yummy!"

CGK Elementary School actively incorporates field trips, with each class taking various modes of transportation, such as school buses and trains, every month. In the first semester, three classes had 13 field trips. Some of the field trips are deeply related to the IB and the daily curriculum, while others are inspired by the children`s own interests, making them both fun and educational. Please take a look at the examples of field trips on our website.

(日本語は後で) CGK Elementary School offers Summer Lab as a program during the summer vacation! During the second week of summer vacation, students enjoyed five days of ""Dinosaur"" summer lab!
<Day 1> The week started with us researching what dinosaurs are. We also started creating our information book filled with the knowledge we had learned through the day.
<Day 2> On this day, the students researched about what the dinosaurs ate. They learned about herbivores, carnivores and omnivores and what the biggest and smallest dinosaurs were.
<Day 3> On this day, the students researched about the extinction event that wiped out most of the dinosaurs. They learned that 66 million years ago a massive asteroid struck the Earth and caused mass devastation to the planet.
<Day 4> On this day, the student researched about fossils and had a great time digging up some fossil remains! They also had fun putting together their dinosaur skeletons.
<Day 5> On our final day, students research about the dinosaurs that survived the extinction event - birds! We also had a fantastic time at the dinosaur show at Kannai Hall.
All-in-all it was a fun and informative week in the CGK Dinosaur Summer Lab!
Currently at CGK International School, our 2-year old class offers a 2-day course on Thursday and Friday, a 3-day course on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or a 5-day course.

The children learned about aerospace engineering and robotics, and they particularly enjoyed the seasonal special exhibition, ""Life on the Moon,"" where the simulation game of meteorite exploration became everyone`s favorite!
<July 27> The day featured a Dance & Fitness lesson led by our very own Mr. Shin from CGK Afterschool ! The children learned about the reasons and effects of their heart rate increasing. Afterward, they experienced how dance can elevate their heart rate and, in the end, they divided into groups to showcase their own line dances they came up with!
<July 28> The day featured the highly popular event, the Egg Drop! The children were divided into groups and brainstormed ideas on how to drop an egg without breaking it. In the end, they conducted experiments by dropping their eggs, and some groups successfully protected their eggs from breaking, while others unfortunately faced some challenges and their eggs broke. Nevertheless, it was a fun and educational experience for all!
