New Life International School

needs a

high school building by

April 2024!

We are growing out of our present building and our secondary students need another building. We are asking for help to purchase or rent a building for our junior high and high school students. The students will have fundraisers, work in flea markets, and sell original t-shirts, but we need more help! Can you help us? We are accepting donations now. Please see below the specifics of the building needs.

Goals:

Three or more rooms that are at least 18-20 tatami mats (36 square meters) for classrooms
An extra 10-mat (or 16.5 square meters) room for Japanese classes and other support classes
A 5 or 6-mat room for storage
At least 3 separate toilet areas
A kitchen
Walking distance to a park or a large field for sports
Preferably within a 25-minute walk from our school and walking distance from Kofu station
At least 5 parking places, or a parking area close by
A covered bicycle parking area

10. Grounds on the property would be amazing

Capital is needed to purchase or rent the above.

Please contact the school if you can help us in any way with getting a building. Note: We will never press anyone to give a donation. This is entirely volunteer giving.
