ALL ENGLISH

INTERNATIONAL SATURDAY SCHOOL

10am - 4pm

At International School Hamamatsu, our Saturday program is designed to emulate a school day in America or Australia or any English speaking school. It is immersion in English. Our program is an IMMERSION program. In Japan where English is not the main language in which classes are taught at school, it makes it very difficult for those who have been overseas to keep the English level they have attained. We aim to not only allow them to keep the level they have achieved, but to improve on it in the most natural way possible. That is to teach to their level in English using great resources and great teachers. We have four levels of classes.

One Elementary level for very young learners who have been exposed to English or have been overseas. It focuses on whole language learning while giving emphasis to the sounds of language using phonics teaching. Interesting passages, songs, games and activities help our students learn about the world in English. All subjects are taught, English, drama, math, science, social studies and more.

Our intermediate class is for those who are young and have spent time overseas or for those who have never been overseas but have studied English for a few years and are at an Eiken level of 4 or above.

Two Advanced level classes, one for those who are still in upper elementary school or early junior high school and the other for those at upper junior high and above. Many of our students in these classes have attained Eiken level 2, Pre 1 and 1. We cater to their level.

Critical Thinking

Our curriculum encourages students to think for themselves, but with particular emphasis on asking questions, forming hypotheses and researching and trying to find their own answers.

The next block of photos depicts our students deep in such a conundrum and trying yo use their critical thinking skills as well as excellent teamwork to find the solution to a conservation math problem posed to them. One of the teams did succeed in finding the correct answer and it was not by chance, but by mathematical calculation once they figured out how!

Oral Presentations

Oral presentations are encouraged each week from all class levels.
Such practice gives children the skills to develop confidence in both speaking in front of others as well as in the English language itself.

Show & Tell

At the beginning of each Saturday lesson, students have the opportunity to show and explain something they treasure or are interested in at the time. It’s a very popular time of the lesson!

Zoom lessons during Coronavirus lockdown

Our students were not only enthusiastic participants in 6 hour Zoom lesson weeks, but came out with even more confidence than before!

Masterpieces on Display

The following are from our advanced classes where they made and presented brochures on destinations and Posters depicting the need to be aware of the dangers of microorganisms in food and general health of the individual.
