Africa Remix at Mori Art Museum

Last week’s field trip took place at the Mori Art Museum. Students explored the Africa Remix exhibition, in order to learn more about Africa. Many of the students found that there is more to learn about a place than what is conveyed through textbooks and atlases. Here is what some of the students had to say about the trip.

“ They want to show everything.” – Joe

“My favorite was the dark room with crystal stones. It’s kind of interesting because the room is dark, but from the stones comes lots of light.” –Amy

Summer Programs 2006

We are having a fantastic summer at Global Kids Academy. The childre are having tons of fun while learning and thinking about the big issues that affect us all. In recent weeks, the children have studied topics such as Endangered Species (focusing on animals living in the Arctic region) and Extinct Animals (focusing on the Dodo Bird and the reasons for its extinction). Everyday, friendships are being formed and children are improving their language skills in very visible ways!

Summer 2005 Teachers and Counselors

We are pleased to announce that Ogawa Eri Sensei will lead our Japanese Immersion Program. Ogawa Sensei started teaching Japanese at Nishimachi International School when I was a student in the 1970’s. Many of my non-Japanese classmates are fluent in Japanese and use their language skills in their professions, thanks to Ogawa Sensei. We are very fortunate to have someone with such wealth of experience join our faculty this summer.
