Report from a Japanese (returnee) mother:

"KAIS (Kikokushijo Academy International School) is a school for the returnees children and my son is very happy there. Their curriculum is great and I can see the amazing growth with him for only one month !

KAI School accept the students from Grade 5. Children from other nationalities are also welcome. The ratio of teacher to students is 1:6. Also multi-age.

My son likes school very much. Academically, it gives children very high quality education. They use Laurel Distance Learning Program (US) for math and history, and English and Science are taught by their special teachers.
Quality of the teachers are very high and they also know how to make the students feel happy and relaxed when they learn.

It's a small school now, so there is no facilities for PE (they go to Shibuya or the ground near school for playing football whatever). There is no school fair nor festival."
