International School in Yokohama to 12+4-Year Continuum Education
CGK is the only integrated international school in Yokohama with April enrollment.
More than 230 students from 2 years old to elementary school attend the school, which plans to open a middle school in 2025 and a high school in 2028.
As an International Baccalaureate IB PYP World School, our world-class curriculum and progressive, future-oriented approach to education foster independent, lifelong learners, while we, the school, continue to move forward with our students.
Educational Mission and Code of Conduct
With the mission of "maximizing your opportunities for happiness in an increasingly global world," we have been providing a high quality inquiry-based learning curriculum since the school's opening.
We contribute to creating a better and more peaceful world by developing young talent into internationally-minded individuals.
IB PYP World School. Full-time, 5-days-a-week enrichment curriculumfor children ages 3-5 (from 2 days a week for children age 2). Providing quality childcare and education that also nurtures non-cognitive skills, such as communication and emotional maturity through a global education centered on self-expression, critical thinking skills and a spirit of inquiry.
IB PYP World School. Providing practical inquiry-based learning through a transdisciplinary system. As a non-article one school with a flexible curriculum, CGK's global education incorporates IB (International Baccalaureate) and other world-standard curriculum.
Scheduled to open April 2025. Explore learning by focusing on deeper and more focused concepts than the IB PYP curriculum. Students continue to make broad connections across subjects, but move towards more subject specific learning. Students will experience a one-year study abroad program in 7th grade to develop diverse perspectives and values from a young age.
Scheduled to open April 2028. Providing students with the opportunity to extend their learning and make connections across disciplines. Also CGK will provide an environment to nurture internationally-minded individuals that can contribute to a better world, maximizing opportunities for happiness in an increasingly global world.
The following is an introduction to CGK's educational systems and the faculty and staff who support it.
Education and childcare are not mechanical manifestations of the policies of an organization, but rather, a reflection the passion and enthusiasm of all staff members involved.
Through the collaboration of our faculty and staff with diverse backgrounds and the policies that CGK aims to achieve, we provide quality education and childcare.
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.

(日本語は英語の後で) Yesterday’s snack for the Ocean class (2 year olds) was scones from “iro”, a scone specialty store located near Tobe Station😊 When “iro” contacted us, they mentioned that they want the children to enjoy their shop’s delicious scones, so this time we decided on offering the scones to Ocean class students✨ We sat up the scones on a tower tray and the children chose two of their favorite scones from the scone tower to eat for snack, and two more to take home as souvenirs!

CGK’s Autumn School program is designed exclusively for elementary school students😊

We value the children’s independence and provide ample opportunities for them to move their bodies, work on crafts, research, present their work, debate their ideas, share their opinions, and actively try new things!😄
There are no restrictions on the amount of days that can be applied for so please feel free to apply for any days you are interested in!
We look forward to seeing you!

(日本語は英語の後で) We are very happy to share the news that we are officially an IB World School authorized to deliver the Primary Years Program! Becoming an authorized school means we met all the required qualifications to deliver the PYP. Implementing the PYP at CGK has already improved teaching and learning. But this is only the beginning. We will continue to strengthen our teaching approaches and learning. Every year we will identify at least one specific area that we will work to improve as a school as well as individual goals for all staff. Teachers will also continue to receive professional development, either in-service from qualified staff or through official IB workshops. Our goal has always been not just to offer the PYP, MYP, DP, and CP, but to offer the best educational experience possible to all of our students.
We will continue to offer IB information sessions and publish writings about our school and lessons. We continue to work towards achieving our mission to "expand the options for happiness on a global basis." CGK International School
