No, but we require the parents of prospective students to attend a thorough orientation as our school is so unique in
the context of the other *international school* options in Japan.

在籍生徒数
255 as of 1 June 2021
在籍生徒の国籍数
Many. We have a non-discriminatory policy and no quote system or priority system. The most important criterion for admission is
that the parents support the mission of the school, which is a *what we do here...* type of mission, rather than a brief abstract statement.

Dual nationals of Japanese and another nationality.
国内生徒と海外生徒の割合

生徒サポート
特別な学習ニーズへのサポート体制
*Special Needs* generally applies to students who do not fit into a particular school system and are therefore either inconvenient for the teachers or impossible for them to handle. Our multiage by design "Vygotskian" style of school widens the parameter of those who may be successfully accommodated. Diversity is what we want in the classrooms.
学習サポートの内容
We have very high standards, but without a whiff of standardization. We use the Scottish curriculum for Excellence , developmental continuums, and a truly child-centered approach looking at each child as an individual with their own specific needs.

No. Previously parent volunteers arranged to have lunch delivered on Mondays and Fridays for those who requested it. This has been suspended due to covid.
特別な食事制限への対応（ビーガン、コーシャー、ハラール等）
Parents provide snacks and lunches, not the school.
制服の着用義務
Yes, except for the Early Learning Center, It is partly a safely issue, as we wish our students to be identifiable to the local community. This would not be adviseable in some countries, but it is in Japan.
That said, we ask the parents to enforce the uniform. We would not send a child home because they forgot their tie, for example.
We have interactive whiteboards and numerous computers in every classroom, together with enough chromebooks for every student in a class to have one on
an as requested basis.
オンライン授業への対応（休校時など）
Yes.
学校での宗教活動の有無と内容
They may if they wish, but we are a secular school.
無宗教や他の宗教を持つ生徒への対応
We welcome them.
Our students are all emerging blinguals, irrespective of nationality. We do not focus on nationality.
There is no ceiling on how far a child may go in any area and in any language.
教育心理士へのアクセス
There are resources in the community as needed, but our students are not harnessed, so as the counselor`s function is often to help students fit into whatever school their parents picked for them, they are less likely to be needed at our school.
