PYP [ Primary Years Programme]
Taking the journey of learning upon childre n's curiosity
Children’s exploration starts by having interest and paying attention to things or events around them. To realize the learning world of what a “why” question creates, our kindergarten introduces the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP).
Teachers should not simply lecture everything, but respect children’s independence and value their personality and rights. This is the basic principle of the International Baccalaureate (IB).
World- class education with children playing the leading role
Young children love to jump into the unknown world with shiny eyes and full of curiosity. We practice the International Baccalaureate Programme suitable for children aged three to five, and put children’s curiosity in the center of class activities. We create a world-top level education.
UOI ( Unit of Inquiry) based learning to develop broad research skills
One of the explorative activities UOI(Unit of Inquiry), children study events that are happening around them while connecting to world events by themselves. PYP early years provides interdisciplinary learning of English, math, music, art, and ICT.
We provide an English environment in playing and school life of children.
As class advances, the use of English increases in various areas of their school lives.At the same time, we value Japanese language as the mother tongue.
Learning environment
Learn from relationships with senior students
In everyday life, children naturally want to improve themselves. In kindergarten, we aggressively set up scenes to involve them with senior students so that we can inspire children to have aspiration to be and do like senior students. It is an important opportunity to stimulate their ambition and to learn voluntarily.
Advanced ICT environment
The students from kindergarten (class for five-year-olds) to Elementary school use a tablet, (iPad). We enhance the quality of the learning environment by creating an ICT environment that promptly copes with an information society.
Daily learning culminating in annual events
Children experience a lot of “I did it!” and “It’s fun!” through a variety of events. For example, they cultivate teamwork and a competitive spirit through sports festivals, and in school plays they show the ability of English and expression that has been acquired. A number of unique events are held throughout the year.
Continuum educational environment from kindergarten to High school
In Kindergarten, we value the learning of reading, writing, calculation as the basic study of English, Japanese, and Math in preparation for Elementary School. We aim for students’ smooth transition to elementary school as we accumulate support that matches each child’s achievement.
Parent’s Voice
保護者の皆さまから うれしい声をいただいています
Eaglet1 Class One of the parents’ message
We can’t speak Japanese because it’s our first time in Okinawa, so we chose OIS to adapt to our child’s school life.
Contrary to concerns, the school atmosphere was bright, and we saw the sincerity and warmth of the teachers.
After a while, my child’s face became bright and she said she wanted to go to school everyday. And her Japanese and English skills have developed a lot, which has surprised us, too.
We feel so good to see our child go to school every morning with a BIG SMILE.
THANK YOU OIS.
Eaglet1 Class One of the parents’ message
The teachers are always smiling and kind, and my child enjoys going to school every day. I chose OIS because I wanted my child to grow up to be a person with human ability in the future. Since entering the school, my child has learned about the 10 learner profile(IB), and I feel that she is growing into a caring and kind-hearted person. I also feel that she is learning English from words to sentences. The Karate class, where students are exposed to Okinawan culture from an early age, is also very appealing.
Owlet Class One of the parents’ message
The biggest deciding factor for my son to enter the kindergarten was that he chose this place on his own after visiting several kindergartens.
The teachers, who are well versed in education and always cheerful and open, have given us parents a great sense of security.
I first learned more about IB education at the information session, but I feel that it is a very important education for Japan, for the children who will live in the future.
Please feel free to contact us if you need any further information.
