全てのレッスンは英語で行います。
先生との会話は全て英語となりますが、英語に慣れていないお子様にもストレスがかからないよう、ジェスチャーなどを含めたコミュニケーション能力の向上からスタートし、その後は英語脳を作れるように英語のまま理解を促します。また、バイリンガルのスタッフもいます、万が一の時も対応可能ですので、ご安心ください。
子供たちの思考力を伸ばせるカリキュラム
サイエンスやグループプロジェクトなどを通じて、子供たちの知的好奇心を刺激し、常に「なぜ?」と質問することで自分で考える習慣を身につけ、自然と頭の中の声を言葉で表現できるように練習していきます。重ねて「なぜ?」を繰り返すことにより、答えを導き出す思考の癖やプロセスも認識できるので、より良い考え方を学ぶきっかけにもなります。
毎月のTheme Studyでは世界規模へ「視野」を広げます。
毎月のTheme Study(テーマ勉強)では世界規模へ「視野」を広げます。今の社会はすでにグローバル化しています。T.N.G Kidsでは日本だけに限らず世界中に関心を持ち、知識を探求していく手伝いをしています。グループワーク・個人学習の両方を経験しながら、子供達が持っている能力を最大限に引き出す事で、少しずつ子供たちの視野を広げていきます。
14:00-15:15 Montessori Work/Homework/Snack Time
After checking in, students are given time to complete their school homework and enjoy a small snack. Snacks (such as rice crackers and cookies) are provided by TNG Kids and are free from nuts. Parents are asked to disclose their children’s allergies on the enrollment form.
Afterward, children are encouraged to engage in individual or small-group activities, including brain games such as chess and Gravity Maze, Rubik’s cubes, paper crafts, card games, puzzles, Kapla or Lego, etc. This time also acts as an important transition period to an all-English environment.
15:15-16:15 English Lab
English Lab aims at increasing vocabulary and improving listening and speaking skills. Students are encouraged to acquire practical English communication skills through play activities. Our goal is for our students to cultivate a love for learning and speaking English. Why? “Because English is FUN!”
16:15-17:00 Project Time
Project types vary according to a monthly theme. They may include, but are not limited to crafts, games, science, cooking, art, nature, etc. These hands-on projects allow students to develop creative freedom and learn by engaging their senses.
17:00-17:50 Art and Adventure Time
The purpose is to foster basic art skills and creativity. Specific activities include drawing, crafts, sculpture, coloring, and more. Additionally, introducing famous artists and their works can provide good inspiration, allowing children to explore their styles and techniques. Children will express their ideas in English and enjoy learning.
18:00-18:20 Reading and Writing practice
Teachers help select level-appropriate reading books for each student and assign writing activities according to their respective abilities.
18:20-19:00 Homework/Individual or Group activity
During this time, students who arrive later can complete their homework. Those who have finished their homework or do not have homework, can participate in individual or small-group activities, including brain games such as chess and Gravity Maze, Rubik’s cubes, paper crafts, card games, puzzles, Kapla or Lego, etc. This time also acts as a cool-down period before going home.
