J's International School - International School (Opening June 2002)
J's International School was founded by two mothers whose children, one boy and one girl, attended international schools in Japan. The boy lost his life in a tragic accident in the US while he was pursuing his dream of becoming a math teacher at an international school. The girl, who was like a younger sister to the boy, continued her studies to become an educator. Together, the two mothers felt that establishing a school for early childhood development would be a meaningful tribute to the boy's life and to the girl's love of teaching. Grateful that their own children had the experience of receiving their early education in splendid international schools, J's International School (named after the first letter in the names of both the boy and girl), was founded with the hope of providing many more children with similar experiences. The caring, experienced staff at J's International School will help mold an inquisitive and creative child - a child with curiosity and imagination. Summer trial classes are being offered for children between the ages of 3 and 6, from June 3 to August 23. Please contact J's directly for further details, call: 03-3452-2078
