High School Lecture

The students support each other

The students learn diversity and are free to express their opinions.

Like a family!

You care for students with loving warmth like a family

Students and teachers are gentle and kind.  I think this school is wonderful.

Teachers and staff are kind, approachable, and understanding. 

Teachers care for the children individually and their characters.  The teachers never force your sense of value, so students feel free to work or study without stress.

Teachers don’t treat their students as “children” but treat them as “mature people.”  When the teacher sees them doing badly, you correct them.

I appreciate the staff workers.  I trust them.

We feel secure about our children's mental health.  We feel secure as parents to send them to this school.

Thank you always!

One teacher per small number of students is good!

Our child is very happy!  Additionally, NLIS is a diverse community with a global perspective.  NLIS allows our child to develop, adapt, and become a more versatile learner.

Our child has changed positively ever since she joined NLIS.  She enjoys coming to school every morning.  She still wishes that there were no weekends so that she could keep coming to school.

娘が年長の一年間、ニューライフ幼稚園でお世話になりました。

娘が毎朝、通園を待ち切れない位に楽しみにしていたのが何より嬉しかったですが、驚いたのは、きちんとしたカリキュラムの元、娘の英語力がみるみる伸びていったことです。私は日本の義務教育を受けて育ったので、英語圏の子供たちはこうやって言語を学んで行くんだ、とこちらも発見と勉強の日々でした。先生は実力があり優秀なだけでなく、日々子供たち一人一人に愛情を持って接してくださいました。さらにとても責任感の強い方で、子供への注意は一度もなく、こちらの要望を常に尋ねてくださいました。今、娘はニューライフの小学校でお世話になっていますが、やはり幼稚園で基礎を作っていただいたからこそ、小学校の滑り出しがスムーズにいったのだと感じます。親も子供もなんの不安もなく入学を迎えられました。ニューライフ小学校からの就学を考えている方には、是非ニューライフ幼稚園からスタートすることをお勧めしたいと思います。

A loving, child-centered school where teachers help support and recognize my child's strengths and weaknesses creates an environment that makes my child happy to go to school.

公立の学校があわずに、不登校だった息子でしたが、NLISの先生達の優しさに助けられました。また、問題がある時もサポートしてくれてとても感謝しています。

先生達が尊敬できる。

We appreciate the school taking our child in even though it was mid-year, providing him with a safe environment to learn and grow.

The things I value most about NLIS are 1) a safe environment where my child can learn, 2) the Teaching of values that should be adhered to both in and out of school  3) Respect for religious beliefs other than Christianity.

NLIS is the best school in the whole world because all the teachers love their students as much as they love God.  

先生方は子どもたち一人ひとりを愛情深く見守って下さり、何かあれば直ぐに最善を尽くしてくださいます。また子どもたちの知的好奇心を満たす授業内容で、学んできたことを家でもよく話してくれます。算数が苦手だった上の子が算数大好き!になったのも嬉しい驚きの一つです。子ども達が安心してのびのび過ごせる学校なので、明るくて優しいお友達ばかりです。大きな家族のような雰囲気の学校で、私も可能なら通いたかったと思う学校です。

NLIS is a great school with a loving, caring faculty.  Teachers are very good and focused on teaching.  My child is learning many things and activities under the teachers' guidance.  We hope that this school grows fast.  The education level and practical knowledge given by teachers are very good.  NLIS is just fantastic!  --a father of a 3rd-grade child

NLISは、愛情をもって指導してくれる先生たちがいる、素晴らしい学校です。先生もいい人たちで、教えることに集中しています。その先生たちの指導のもと、私の子供もたくさんの事やアクティビティを学んでいます。私たちは、この学校が早く大きな規模に成長してくれればと願っています。与えられる教育レベルや実践的知識はとれも優れています。NLISは本当に素晴らしい学校です!(小学3年生のお父さんより)

NLIS has provided my daughter with a safe, loving, and nurturing environment in which she has been able to find her talents and strengths and blossom into a confident child. - father of a 4th grader

NLISは、安全で愛がある環境、また、娘が成長できる環境を与えてくれています。その中で、自分の才能、強みを見付けだし、自信をもって開花させることができる場所です。(小学4年生のお父さんより)

"Love."  That's the word that best describes NLIS.  Two of my children are growing and being educated in love.  -- a mother of 2nd and 4th-grade children

「愛」。NLISにびったりの言葉です。私の2人の子ども達が、愛の中で学び、成長しています。(小学1年生と3年生のお母さんより)

My son joined NLIS last year as a 1st grader and is in the 2nd grade this year.  His English has grown greatly, but I can also see that he has started having ideas and is more independent.  When he was a 1st grader, he always asked me to help or to check his homework, but this year he has confidence and does his homework by himself.  I think it happens because the teachers accept their whole individual character and work to develop those characters.  He tells his idea positively in our conversation, and he even makes me shocked sometimes because he says, "I think this way because of this..."  I appreciate the teachers for accepting the good sides of students' individual character and developing them with structure.  -- a mother of a 2nd grader

1年生からお世話になって、今年度2年生になった生徒の母親です。入学させていただいてからの1年間での、英語力の上達には目を見張るものがありますが、1人の人として、きちんと自分の考えを持ち、自立していく様子が見られます。1年生の時は、何をするにも私に助けを求め、宿題も確認してほしいと言ってきましたが、今は自信がついて、どんどん自分んでとりくんでいます。先生方が、彼の個性を認め、伸ばして下さっているからこその自信だと思っております。会話の中でも、自分の意見を積極的に述べ、親に対しても「それはこうだから違うと思う。」等反論され、ドキッとすることもしばしばです。秩序を重んじながら、個々の良いところを認め、伸ばして下さる先生方に感謝しております。(小学2年生のお母さんより)

Both our daughters are very happy at NLIS, and I believe that it is mostly due to the fabulous loving environment in the school, which allows them to flourish naturally in their way. - a father of 2nd and 4th-grade children

2人の娘がNLISで楽しく過ごしています。この学校は、最も素晴らしく、愛に満ちた環境の中にあり、それゆえ、娘たちが自分らしく自然体で輝いていられる学校だと思います。(小学2年生と小学4年生のお父さんより)
