Students
The Students at Global Kids Academy are from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds. Through activities and play, they will benefit from cross-communication. They are:
- Japanese children with little or no prior exposure to English
- Returnees (kikokushijo); Japanese children who lived overseas
- Bilingual (multi-lingual) children, whether balanced or favoring one language or the other
- Native English speakers with varying levels of exposure to the Japanese language
- Native speakers of a third language wishing to have more exposure to either English or Japanese.
They may be attending
- local Japanese schools, private or public
- international schools with single language focus or dual language programs.
Global Kids Academy wants to meet the needs of
- children with busy parents
- children who need extra help
- children with an appetite to learn more
- children who would benefit from socializing with peers.
Age depends on the program but most programs, at this time, are appropriate for elementary school children and kindergarteners.
