Philosophy

Fostering Global-Minded Individuals

With the growing need for English proficiency in recent years, our school emphasizes fun and natural English learning from an early age. Under the slogan “Challenge Your Dreams,” we aim to nurture global citizens from Gunma who can contribute to the world.

Trust Backed by Columbia International School (CIS)

As a group school of CIS, we provide childcare and education based on international standards. With the curriculum supervised by CIS, which boasts over 35 years of experience, children can develop skills that are recognized worldwide.

A Continuous Learning Environment for Studying Abroad

To help students apply their English skills and gain global experience, our school offers an After School Course program that supports ongoing learning. Additionally, we encourage exposure to diverse cultures and values through study abroad opportunities in the future, aiming to deepen their understanding of the world.

International Connections and Support

By utilizing the CIS network, we provide an environment where your child can continue their learning both domestically and internationally. This is part of our strong support system aimed at helping children achieve their "dreams."
