Goal of English Education:
- After graduating from the Japanese School of Guam many students transfer to local, English speaking schools, so the Japanese school also offers 3 classes a week in leveled English instruction.
- The goal of Japanese English Education is to foster our students’ English language proficiency so that they remain at or close to American school standards, so that our students will be able to transfer and use English in academic or social settings efficiently.
- Due to the diverse nature of our students, this looks very different for each student, with instruction and lessons designed around the needs of each student.
Goal of Full-Day Kindergarten Program:
- For most students, kindergarten is the opportunity for structured learning and education for the first time. To a large extent, kindergarten functions as the base of learning in elementary school.
- the program focuses on developing their understanding and use of vocabulary, and observing the beauty and wonders of nature.
