CGK International School

We check for competence in our language of instruction (English) to ensure students will be able to access the curriculum or if they need some EAL support. We also evaluate their Japanese language to determine if they should be in JNL (Japanese as a Native Language) or JAL (Japanese as an Additional Language) classes. We briefly evaluate their math and reading skills to determine if they will need extra support in those areas. Lastly, we evaluate behavior to make sure that students will not need support or accommodations that would be disruptive to their learning or the learning of their peers.

Students who are excelling in certain areas are supported in working beyond grade level or planned class learning outcomes. Teachers differentiate for learning needs based on ongoing formative assessment that allows them to tailor education for students at any level.
