What were your reasons for entering the elementary school?

My children enjoyed their time at ELC & K both physically and mentally so we wanted them to continue learning in the same environment. 

What were your reasons for entering the secondary school?

They can develop their own opinions that they can express and they always are kind and considerate towards each other because of the education they received at Kansai International Academy. We were sure that the ability to think and act that they learned through inquiry learning would be important for their future so we wanted to continue to place them in a school that constantly challenges itself to evolve.  

 

What curriculum is particularly attractive at KIA?

It would definitely be UOI. The students’ knowledge expands beyond each subject and they learn to think deeper and deeper. By sharing the themes they are learning, the parents are also given an opportunity to learn, which is fun. 

Please share an episode that made you realize your child is a KIA student.

We sent them to a trial lesson at a cram school because we wanted to expose them to a wider world but when they came home they asked “There’s no group work?”

What is the best way to recommend your KIA?。

• They can also learn Japanese well
• Due to the small number of students, it is reassuring that the students and teachers are close
• They are many interactions between students from different grades
• There are many classes and events where the students have agency

What is KIA to you?

It is a place where the student's best abilities are brought out and where the parents can grow as well.
