T-shirts are available! If any are interested, please see your child's teacher or the secretaries. Our students created the original designs and the student is selling these for ¥1800 each. This is a fundraiser for the future high school building. Each shirt earns 400 yen for the building. Students can wear these every day in place of the normal uniform.
New Life International School (NLIS) is sponsored by New Life International Church, a Protestant evangelical church located in the same building. NLIS students do not need to attend any church or be Christians to be enrolled in our school. Please read the site "Christian Education" to understand more fully how we teach.
