| About LCA International School |
 LCA
is an educational institution that offers the education children really need.
The principal, a former Elementary teacher who wanted to offer a better
educational environment for children, established a private juku in 1985. The International Pre-School opened in the 2000, and in April of 2005 the Elementary School
opened. Mainly
targeted for Japanese students and International/Foreign students who are looking for an education with Japanese
cultural acquisition, we are aiming to foster students who will have universally accepted values and who will be
able play an active part in the world with their English capabilities. We hope the children who are looking not
only for the acquisition of English but also for the quality of the education would enroll at our school.

Educational Philosophy
|
- We are aiming to foster students who will be able to bring out their individual characteristics as a part of the society and to contribute to the society in the years to come.
- By recognizing the individual characteristics that they were born with and the individual characteristics that
are developed through experience, we are aiming to develop the individual characteristics that will be able to help others.
- We are aiming to foster students who will be able to play an active part in the world.
- A person who has universally accepted values.
- A person who has
communication skills in English.
- We are aiming to foster children who know how wonderful it is to live.
- A person who can appreciate nature and people's good deeds, and has an
abundance of curiosity.
- We foster students who will be able to express their feelings and will, and
also understand the other person's point of view.

Perfect Immersion
|
 Preschool
is a perfect immersion program where foreign teachers teach everything in English.
By using this method, even the Japanese children will start communicating in English.
In elementary school, all subjects are taught in English with the exception of Japanese class, and the homeroom teachers are
native English speakers.
The quality of education lies on the quality of teachers. In LCA, we hire
teachers from all over the world who have faith and passion in education.
Instead of using a teaching method from a manual, we achieve our educational
goal by using each teacher's individual characteristics to the fullest. |
Well-established Counseling Program |
|
The Japanese staff is able to respond to child-raising problems and the children's
spiritual problems in Japanese. We occasionally have lectures on the Principal's education.
|
To make it easier for people who live far from the school, we have a school bus that goes to Machida Station,
Sagamiono Station, Fuchinobe Station, and Hashimoto Station. |
