for April 2025 Enrollment

Features

Leveraging the benefits of being a non-article 1 school, we base our curriculum on the International Baccalaureate (IB) while also incorporating elements from Japan’s course of study and other international curriculum flexibly.

With an April enrollment and the requirement that parents speak either English or Japanese, CGK is an accessible international school for many families.

Curriculum

Building on the foundation established in our preschool, the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) continues into our elementary school. We further deepen inquiry at a higher level using a transdisciplinary approach that transcends traditional subject boundaries.

This type of learning is highly practical and well-suited for young learners as they engage with society and the world around them.

To enhance their inquiry and understanding, we also actively incorporate field trips and other experiential learning opportunities.

Japanese

In our daily 45-minute Japanese classes, we focus on developing students’ self-expression, critical thinking skills, and a spirit of inquiry in a balanced manner, reflecting our commitment to nurturing lifelong learners who thrive in multiple languages. We believe that supporting a child’s native language and the language of their country of residence is crucial for deepening their cultural identity and promoting cognitive, social, and emotional development.

Accordingly, we place a strong emphasis on Japanese language education (JNL/Japanese as a Native Language) based on the curriculum standards from the MEXT while also dedicating significant resources to Japanese language classes for students learning it as a foreign language (JAL/Japanese as an Additional Language).

*All subjects except Japanese are taught in English.

Study Abroad

We offer overseas study programs to encourage children to become self-reliant, self-directed and lifelong learners. Our staff will help you make the arrangements after finding out the needs of your child and your family. There are many different options to study abroad, for example, parent-child study abroad, home-stay, and boarding schools. These are very valuable opportunities to put learning to practical use in a new environment, apart from the daily life at CGK, and parents will be touched to see how much their children grow.

CGK strongly recommends studying abroad at a young age, as it provides an opportunity to experience an unknown world and gain exposure to diverse values and ways of thinking, which in turn, leads to growth.

Also, CGK is a welcoming place for international students from abroad with a view to encouraging multicultural cooperation.

Extracurricular Activities

We offer After Care (until 4pm), Club Activities (until 4:30pm), and Afterschool (until 7pm).

Students can participate in a wide range of activities, from cultural and athletic pursuits to relaxation time and in-depth exploration of various subjects.

*(日本語は英語の後で) On November 16th (Saturday), a joint Professional Development (PD) session for Preschool and Elementary School was held📖This PD session was optional, and 16 participants from Preschool and 7 from Elementary School attended. Ms. Darby, the IB PYP Coordinator at CGK, facilitated the session, which focused on “Assessment” and “Inquiry.✏️“Assessment” means “evaluation.” However, in the context of children, assessment is not primarily about evaluating; it is a reflection and record of the children’s current growth in order to understand their progress and provide further support. It’s primary purpose is to allow us to tailor learning to meet the needs of our students and for them to reflect on their growth.One moment that stood out was when a teacher was asked about the purpose of conducting assessments for children. One teacher answered, “It’s really fun to see how far they’ve come at the end of the school year,” which was very memorable😊Check out the stories/hightlights for more details!✨11月16日(土)に、プリスクールと初等部の合同でPD(Professional Development / 専門的能力を高めるトレーニング)が行われました📖この日のPDは希望者参加型でしたが、プリスクールから16名、初等部から7名が参加し、CGKの国際バカロレアIB PYPコーディネーターであるMs. Darbyがファシリテーターを務め、“Assessment”と“inquiry”についての研修が行われました✏️“Assessment”とは直訳すると「評価」ですが、子供たちに対するAssessmentは、単なる「評価」ではなく、子供たちの現在の成長を把握し、さらなるサポートをするための振り返りと記録です。子どもたちのAssessmentを行う理由について先生が問いかけられた際、1人の先生が“It’s really fun to see how far they’ve come at the end of the school year. (1年を終えた時に、子供たちがどれだけ成長したかを見るのは本当に楽しい)“と答えたことが、とても印象的でした😊詳しくはぜひストーリー/ハイライトをご覧ください✨#internationalschool #IB #cgkis #elementaryschool #preschool #yokohama #プリスクール横浜 #インターナショナル保育園 #横浜 #インターナショナルスクール横浜 #国際バカロレア #初等部 #professionaldevelopment #職員研修
