CGK School Festival 2025 – Returning Again This Year!
Sunday, October 26, 2025, 10:00–14:30

CGK International School is a comprehensive international school located in Yokohama (Bashamichi / Kannai), offering continuous education from preschool through middle school. We are also planning to open a high school division in 2028.

At CGK, our mission statement is “A global learning community for discovering and pursuing your happiness.” We design our lessons to emphasize the flow of inquiry, thinking, and expression. In 2024, CGK was officially authorized as an IB PYP school, and in June 2025, we became a candidate school for the MYP.

The CGK School Festival is not only an opportunity to see what CGK students and staff are doing and to experience their energy firsthand, but also a chance to enjoy a variety of engaging content and activities together with local communities and businesses who support CGK throughout the year. We hope it will be a meaningful and enjoyable time of connection and exchange. We look forward to welcoming many of you again this year!

Reserve your visit through CGK’s LINE official account!
Advance reservations will make check-in on the day smoother and allow you to enter with priority even during busy times. We kindly ask for your cooperation in making a reservation in advance.

Poster Creation Project with Professional Designers

The 5th graders took on the task of creating the poster for the School Festival during their Japanese class. The students communicated directly with professional designers, experiencing the entire production process—from placing their initial orders and requesting revisions to receiving the final product. In order to bring their ideas to life, they explored different strategies such as choosing words that conveyed their intentions clearly, finding effective ways to communicate, and sharing visual information through rough sketches.

This project had two main objectives:

  1. To help students gain a deeper understanding of how society works and how actual jobs progress.
  2. To give them the opportunity to collaborate with professionals and experience the sense of accomplishment that comes from producing a high-quality result together.

*If there are any companies, organizations, or individuals who are willing to help display this poster (A2 size) or flyer (same design, A4 size), we would greatly appreciate it if you could contact us. Also, feel free to share the image below!

Miwa Chiropractic Clinic

Gift Card for Miwa Chiropractic Clinic -One winner

There was a time when I struggled with daily discomfort and pain in my body, which made life feel difficult and affected my mental well-being, leading to dark, gloomy days.
I came to realize how much pain and discomfort can rob us of peace of mind, and how, without that peace, it becomes impossible to truly be ourselves. By learning about the connection between the body and mind, I became aware of my habitual thoughts and emotions, and by addressing them, I now live a joyful life.
When we are unable to live authentically, it can feel suffocating, and we often experience a vague sense of anxiety, impatience, and dissatisfaction.
I provide personalized treatments, hoping to offer a moment of relief for everyone and help them enjoy life. Our clinic also offers a free daycare room with certified childcare staff, so you can take time for yourself to relax and refresh both body and mind.
