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.

255 as of 1 June 2021
學校學生國籍數量
Many. We have a non-discriminatory policy and no quote system or priority system. The most important criterion for admission is

學生支援
為有特殊學習需求學生提供的專職人員/項目
*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.
提供的學習支援
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.
特殊飲食需求的餐食選擇（純素、猶太潔食、清真等）
Parents provide snacks and lunches, not the school.
是否要求穿著制服
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.
學校是否已準備好在需要時使用虛擬課堂？（如學校關閉時開展線上教學，例如新冠疫情期間）
Yes.
學生是否在學校進行宗教活動？信仰何種宗教？
They may if they wish, but we are a secular school.
學校如何照顧無宗教信仰或不同宗教背景的學生？
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.
學生是否可獲得教育心理師支援
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.
