English Immersion Summer Program 2008
If you want to enjoy interesting field trips and fun activities in Tokyo this summer, Global Kids Academy is the place to be. From June 16 to August 29, we will welcome kids from all over the world. In the past few years, we have had participants from St. Petersburg, Washington, D.C., Washington State, Boston, Seoul, Bangkok and all over Japan. English is spoken among the students and teachers of this program.
Academics, adventures, art and activities are available throughout the day. Although there is no "typical" day, we generally spend about two hours on projects that involve reading and writing. The rest of the day fills up with all kinds of excitement: outdoor fun, indoor games, crafts, lunch-time movies and Adventures in Tokyo!
Adventures in Tokyo is our signature program in which all kids in English Immersion and Japanese Immersion participate. Each week, we will take up a different theme and go on a field trip. These are true learning experiences for the children. The hands-on learning and documentation (e.g. writing articles, conducting surveys, making a digital video, making a Powerpoint presentation, etc.) deepend the children's understanding of the world around them. Many kids sharpen their language arts skills while spending the summer with us.
