In an increasingly global society, it’s crucial for children to learn about and consider the world around them. Experiencing the world firsthand is key.
By joining various programs and activities with peers other students from around the world in Japan, engaging with Japanese culture, language, and people, this will helps children feel connected to the world and realize their part in it.
We offer opportunities to spark children’s interest in the world, expanding their knowledge and perspectives with our Summer School.
This year’s summer school will be themed “Learn STEAM in English!”
STEAM stands for:
- Science
- Technology
- Engineering
- Art
- Mathematics
Based on the daily themes, activities, crafts, and games all are incorporated to make learning fun. The curriculum is unique and diverse, engaging the five senses, and focuses on themes from various fields that captivate children’s interests minds.
Each theme is enjoyable and educational, ensuring a valuable experience for your child. Please be sure to join us this Summer!
About Sangenchaya International School
Sangenchaya International School is an English school located a 6-minute walk from Sangenjaya Station in Setagaya, Tokyo, catering to students from infancy to high school age.
At our school, we emphasize “studying properly” and “acquiring practical English skills.” We aim for students to gain the ability to succeed globally by learning English.
During summer vacation, children can make friends, experience different cultures, and take on new challenges. This program is perfect for children who want to grow and develop a love for English and STEAM, all while studying in Japan!
3 Key Elements
Key Element 1: Experience
Children learn STEAM through hands-on activities and crafts, enhancing curiosity, thinking, skills, imagination, and speaking skills.
Key Element 2: Non-cognitive skills
Early exposure to foreign cultures and languages boosts children’s non-cognitive skills, essential for navigating a dynamic and ever changing society.
Key Element 3: Friendships that will last a Lifetime
Since the Japanese children participating in the program are also learning English, they naturally want to communicate in English. Interacting with peers from different countries, whom they would never have had a chance to meet otherwise, helps to broaden their horizons.

Previous Summer School Photos
These are photos of previous summer schools. The themes were “Discovering Space,” “Under the Sea,” and “Around the World.” Students engaged in learning and art projects related to those themes.
It was ivery exciting to have the children proudly showing off their creations to parents and staff, saying, “Look! I made this today!” or “I chose yellow for this!!”
During Sangenchaya International school’s summer school, both regular students and new participants joined together and initially everyone was nervous; but they all quickly became friends after completing their projects together, (when these group photos were taken).
