Study Abroad ProgramCGK Student's FamilyEducator

CGK communities will be developed not only in Japan but also abroad. Short-term study abroad programs, in which students from preschoolers can participate in the same class with local students at local nursery schools and elementary schools, and one-year study abroad programs are also offered from the summer of the second year of middle school at CGK. In the future, CGK hopes to open a CGK overseas campus and actively implement exchange programs, short-term and long-term study abroad programs between the two campuses, as well as overseas training for staff.

In the future, language and cultural training for educators will also be offered, from short-term to long-term. In an age when the number of teachers is decreasing in Japan, we aim to support educators in improving their skills and career development, and also to improve the status of educators as a whole. As well as contributing to the training of personnel to work in international and overseas schools, CGK teachers will also take part in the program to raise the level of CGK teachers.

• Short-term study abroad for youth
• One-year study abroad for youth (from summer of 2nd year at CGK Middle School)
• Overseas career development program for teachers (TBD)
• CGK Overseas Campus (TBD)

Bilingual Preschool Teacher ExchangeEducator

Management of the Facebook group 'Learning and Exchange Community for Preschool Teachers and Staff'.

It is an opportunity for bilingual preschool teachers from CGK Preschool and bilingual preschool teachers from other schools to interact, exchange ideas, and also improve their skills through workshops and other activities. International preschool teachers are required to have a variety of skills in English, childcare and global perspectives, which is why we believe it is important to have an environment where they can grow together.

As the number of international schools in Japan grows year by year, there is an urgent need to train highly qualified teachers working in international schools, who are required to have a wide range of skills. We will support career development and job search activities.

International FamilyCGK Student's FamilyEducatorExternal Community

Yokohama is home to many foreign residents, however, due to language and cultural barriers, these families from overseas often end up in small, limited communities. Yet there are many Japanese families who want to interact with and support foreign families.

Taking advantage of the fact that CGK is an international school, we operate the community and provide not only a place for exchange, but also a new type of exchange community by sharing professional knowledge and information on international education, childcare, and child-rearing. We also run events.
