Grace International Learning Center
(Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, JAPAN) - Ages: 1 - 6 years
|
|
|
The aim at Grace International Learning Center is not simply to prepare children for the big schools
but to form minds that will be critical; minds that would question and not just accept everything that is presented to them. Which is why
children are encouraged to explore, discover and come up with their own answers rather than give responses learned from rote or
paper and pencil drills. The child's enjoyment and learning through these explorations are given more importance that the final
product or outcome.
