Greetings and welcome to New Life International School!  NLIS is a small but growing kindergarten, elementary, and junior high school that provides an English Christian education in the beautiful valley of Kofu City in Yamanashi Japan.  We currently have grades 1 through 8 from April 2020-2021, and from April 2021, we will have grades K, ages 4 and 5, through grade 9.  We are working hard to open a kindergarten this fall, 2020.  If you are interested, please contact us.

We encourage you to visit our school and see that we are a school committed to children.  You will find that this is a vibrant and engaging community of teachers and learners.

Corona Precautions

We are following all CDC requirements to keep safe from the current pandemic.  ​We are working hard to keep our environment as safe as possible and feel that our small school is ideal for this challenge.  These are the precautions we take:

​

• Students, teachers, and staff wear masks or face shields indoors at all times. 

• The students sit at least one meter away from each other and face forward.

• We wash our hands every time we leave or enter the classroom in designated sinks.  

• All grades enter and exit the school at assigned doorways and at staggered times. 

• We ask all volunteers and parents to avoid entering the building during school days unless they have a reservation.   

• Lunches are eaten in the classroom and not in the cafeteria.

• Students practice social distance even outside and wear gloves if any equipment is used in physical education classes. 

• Our music classes have no singing at this time.  We are playing instruments that do not require breath, i.e. handbells, ukuleles, and percussion instruments. 

• All students check their temperatures every morning and bring a temperature chart to school each day. 

• At the end of each day, all students and teachers disinfect all areas of classrooms, restrooms, halls, and sinks with bleach water.  

​

We are an active school full of learning, friendships, concerts, art fairs, science fairs, and more!  Schedule an appointment to come and observe our classes!
