To enable our learners to lead positive change in the world.

Our Miss ion

In today’s world we are all presented with opportunities that were once hard to imagine. These opportuni-ties, in the business and social domains of our society, are now associated with an unprecedented increase in the global flows of ideas, people, information, services, finance, communication and trade. The accelera-tion of social, intellectual and economic global activity has opened up a world of exciting prospects for our young people.

The extent of social and economic prosperity in today’s world is shaped by the capacity and capabilities of the nation’s people. What comes with this changing social, economic and cultural landscape is a significant obligation on us, as teachers and parents, to ensure today’s generation have acquired the attributes, skills and knowledge to prosper and succeed in such a world.

At Aoba-Japan International School, we believe entrepreneurship embodies a social responsibility that supports the building a prosperous and socially just society. In our way of thinking, social entrepreneurship involves learning from others; working in teams; belief in one’s abilities and ideas; innovating through the generation and application of new ideas; self-motivation and determination; showing initiative in thinking and doing; developing detailed plans to achieve objectives; and using analytical abilities to make wise decisions.

Every decision we make is designed to achieve our aim of improving our children’s capacities and capabilities to lead positive change in our world. We asked ourselves: What values would guide us to achieve our aim? Does our curriculum support our learners to develop 21st century capacities and capabilities? Is our teaching approach enabling our learners to prosper and succeed? Does our school community collaborate effectively to provide a safe and thoughtful learning environment?

With these questions in mind, we have adopted 5 core values of Global Leadership; Entrepreneurship and Innovation; Effective Communication; Wise Risk Taking and Effective Problem Solving. Our internationally recognized curriculum (International Baccalaureate) uses an inquiry approach to learning that enables our children to gain deep conceptual understandings. This learning is supported by systematic teaching to develop literacy and numeracy skill as well as critical and creative thinking capacities. We provide coherent learning experiences from Kindergarten to Grade 12 by learners connecting and applying knowledge. We partner with local and international universities to have ready access to expertise and research in the field of teaching and learning.

The basis for our success is borne from our passion for learinig and consideration for all our learners. We are determined and dedicated to the task of preparing them in readiness for our ever-changing world.

A visit to any of our several campuses will provide testimony to our professional commitment as educators. You are welcome to discover our commitment and care for developing our children into global leaders who make a positive change in the world.

Global leadership is a mindset that enables us to initiate, lead, and participate in socially responsible actions. Global leaders take action through a holistic, balanced, and reflective framework. They lead with an understanding of multiple perspectives related to physical, managerial, psychological, political, cultural, spiritual domains.

Global Leaders

Wise risk takers have the courage to attempt new and untested things in order to achieve their goals. They use discerning and analytical thinking to identify potential and manage risk. They see solutions over problems, possibilities over obstacles, and probabilities over futil ity.

Wise Risk-Takers

Effective problem solvers are open-minded and see problems from multiple perspectives. They can analyze problems in order to under-stand, assess, and identify possible solutions. They act on solutions that are designed to make the world a better place to live.

Effective Problem-Solvers

Entrepreneurship and innovation is core to social responsibility. It involves the discovery and applica-tion of knowledge and ideas to improve the human condition. Entrepreneurs innovate by generat-ing and applying new ideas designed to impact on the world in positive ways.

Entrepreneurs and Innovators

Effective communication involves both imparting and exchanging ideas in a clear and concise way to produce desired results. Effective communicators are active thinkers and attentive listeners who offer ideas openly and weigh them against the thoughts and ideas of others with their integrity main-tained.

Core Values andUniversal Attr ibutes

Prosperity in today’s world is shaped by the capacity andcapabilities of the nation’s people.

“Our success is borne from our passion and consideration for all our learners.

Leading positive change assumes that we have made a decision to make the world a better place for us all. Our focus is to provide learning experiences for our learners so they acquire the knowledge and skills needed to lead positive changes in the world. To provide structure for these learning experi-ences we have identified a set of intercon-nected values that guide the teaching and learning in our school. These values, as shown below, provided powerful orientations for all learners in our school to deeply under-stand and appreciate the personal disposi-tions, attitudes and attributes needed to succeed as a positive leader in today’s world. The core values support our belief that creat-ing conditions for empowerment will lead to our learners understanding the importance of social responsibility and equality in the decision making process and the subsequent actions of us all.

Aoba-Japan International School provides a continuum of international education for our learners aged 2-18 years old.

Our Un ique Curr iculumWe are dedicated to the task of preparing your children for our ever-changing world.

An IB Education:

Focuses on learners

Develops effective approaches to learning and teaching

Works within global contexts

Explores significant content

At the heart of the IB is the “learner profile”, a

long-term, holistic vision of education that under-

pins all three programmes (PYP, MYP, & DP) and

puts the student at the centre of everything we

do. The learner profile is the IB mission statement

translated into a set of learning outcomes for the

21st century.

The ten aspirational qualities of the learner

profile inspire and motivate the work of teachers

and learners, providing a statement of the aims

and values of the IB and a definition of what we

mean by international-mindedness.

The learner profile unites us all with a common

focus: on the whole person, as a lifelong learner.

It applies to us all – learner, teacher, parent or

administrator – for we are all continually learning.

The IB Learner at A-JIS

Inquirers: Learners develop a natural curiosity that allows them to become lifelong learners.

Knowledgeable: Learners explore ideas of importance and dig into their meaning, creating a balance in their development as learners.

Thinkers: Learners apply a variety of thinking skills that allow them to tackle complex problems in creative ways.

Communicators: Learners understand and can articulate information in confident, creative ways, in at least two languages.

Principled: Leaners are honest, fair, just and full of integ-rity. They strive to solve their own problems and to take responsibility for their own actions.

Open-minded: Learners understand and embrace other cultures. They recognize and celebrate their own back-grounds and learn tolerance for others.

Caring: Learners actively care about others and partici-pate in active service.

Reflective: Learners reflect on their own learning. They are able to adjust for weaknesses and strengths.

The IB Learner Profile SupportsOur Learners to Become…

Who We AreOur learners explore their beliefs and values, human relationships, rights and responsibilities and what it means to be a person.

Where We Are in Place and TimeOur learners explore their personal history and geography from local and global perspectives, their homes and journeys and how individuals are connected in both local and global contexts.

How We Express OurselvesOur learners explore the ways in which they express their feelings, ideas, beliefs and values.

How the World WorksOur learners explore the physical and material world, the world of science and technology. The children inquire into how these impact on society and on the environment.

How We Organize OurselvesOur learners explore the interconnectedness of systems and communities as well as the impact of the decisions they make in their community.

Sharing the PlanetOur learners explore their rights and responsibilities in sharing resources with other people and with other living things. They explore peace and conflict resolution and their responsibilities in this process.

PYP at the Hikarigaoka Campus

K3 to Grade 5

K2 Class

This programme is for children aged 18 months to 3 years old. We introduce the appropriate social skills for the children to settle in and get along with the others in a classroom environment. All subjects are introduced in this class and children are guided to be independent, self-motivated, and participatory. Children in our K2 class learn through play, crafts, music and hands-on activities.

PYP at the Meguro Campus

Lifelong learning begins with a child’s innate

curiosity, questioning, and wonder about the

world around them. Authentic learning experiences

allow children to construct their own learning while

feeling secure to take chances and discover. When

children are challenged on a daily basis, they learn how

to solve problems, communicate thoughts and feelings

effectively, collaborate with others and develop as a whole

child. A-JIS`s Primary School provides the challenging and

nurturing environment in which children thrive and which sets a

sound educational foundation for all subsequent learning.

PYP learning is designed to encourage curiosity in the integra-

tive way. A balance is sought between the acquisition of essen-

tial knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understand-

ings, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking responsible

action.

children are challenged on a daily basis, they learn how

to solve problems, communicate thoughts and feelings

effectively, collaborate with others and develop as a whole

child. A-JIS`s Primary School provides the challenging and

nurturing environment in which children thrive and which sets a

sound educational foundation for all subsequent learning.

PYP learning is designed to encourage curiosity in the integra-

tive way. A balance is sought between the acquisition of essen-

tial knowledge and skills, development of conceptual understand-

ings, demonstration of positive attitudes, and taking responsible

action.

Diploma ProgramMe (DP )Middle Years ProgramME (MYP )

In our senior years, we provide multiple pathways for our learners. These include internationally recognized IB Diploma Programme and our own challenging A-JIS High School Diploma. In the latter, we are creating courses that learners have collaborated with teachers to design following a model of ‘learn, take action, and extend’.

Throughout these senior years, we continue to emphasize our core values of global leadership, entrepreneurial spirit and innovation through the multiple pathways we offer our learners.

Our focus is to further refine our learner’s communication and problemme-solving skills in preparation for a future beyond our school. As our mission statement makes clear, we are driven to provide our learners all they require to become effective collaborators and leaders of change in their communities.

The IB Middle Years Programme (MYP), for people aged eleven to sixteen, provides a framework of learning that builds on the PYP. Our MYP develops holistic learners within the context of specific areas of knowledge (shown in the MYP model above. In addition, A-JIS provides dedicated time every week to allow exposure to, exploration of, research about, and action in the area of global leadership and the development of young people as holistic learners and global coaches. Our MYP has high expectations that learners are not only challenged, but also generate their own responsible challenges, towards managing the development of both their selves and their environment. We create a vibrant community for the growth of social entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and wise risk-taking while allowing learners to engage and excel in physical activity, languages, arts, design, social and natural sciences, mathematics. Each year, learners take at least one transdisciplinary residential trip along with other local visits. By the end of the programme, we expect our young people to be the best holistic learners they can be ready to meet any of the challenges of their chosen pathways into the future.

EAL JALEnglish as an AdditionalLanguage (EAL ) Programme

Japanese as an AdditionalLanguage (JAL ) programme

Our newly implemented EAL programme adopts a systematic approach to the teaching of English across the whole school and includes:

develop communication skills that empower learners for greater opportunities to participate in the local community.

develop communication and other skills necessary for further language learning

nurture, within our young people, a deep understanding and awareness of Japanese perspectives as well as those of their own and other cultures, leading to positive action mutually respectful involvement

A-JIS is proud to serve a large population of students from many nations, cultures, and language backgrounds. Our EAL programme has been redesigned from the ground up to create a leading, research-based language acquisi-tion programme that directly aligns with the IB philosophy and pedagogy.

Our EAL Goal / Philosophy

How It Works

LANGUAGE ACQUISITION (JLA)

As well as a strong IB Japanese programme for fluent speakers at A-JIS we have extensive provision for those

who are non-native speakers.

The aims of our JAL/JLA programmes are to:

Japanese as an Additional Language (JAL) and Japanese Language Acquisition (JLA)

All our young people who are new to, or not yet fluent in, Japanese develop their communication skills in the

language through a series of learning experiences differentiated according to their level. In MYP, individual learn-

ers move through a series of six phases within our IB Japanese Language Acquisition (JLA) programme over the

five years of the programme. In this way they are able to engage with the community and take advantage of our

DP courses in Literature or Language and Literature.

Learning in JAL and JLA classes is, where appropriate, linked to the classes of other units and subjects within the

PYP and MYP thus additionally supporting holistic learner development.

Furthermore, our JAL and JLA programmes are designed with an emphasis on developing both linguistic and cultural

awareness, and integrate the customs of Japan in line with teaching the language in its written and spoken forms.

English asan Additional Language(EAL)Programme

We value language for authentic communication of one’s own feelings and thoughts, and of becoming an active local and global citizen.

We believe in integral and life-changing power of literacy and expression. They are essential to helping us interact and thrive in our complex and ever-changing world.

We celebrate and support multilingualism inside and outside of our school environment. The ability to communicate fluently using a variety of languages is critical to success in our interconnected world: personally, academically, and economically.

We believe learners learn most effectively in an environment where education professionals plan and practice collaboratively for the cognitive, linguistic, and social development of multilingual students.

Our goal is to ensure we support all children to beable to fully access the IB curriculum.

Language development based on proficiency criteria to identify individual student needs.

Highly effective, attentively constructed pull-out and push-in support models.

The engagement of all classroom and EAL teachers in the teaching of English.

Individualized English Proficiency Plans (IEPP) for all EAL students.

Parent support and systematic homework programmes.

Optimal class configurations.

The Power of Togetherness

Throughout the year, A-JIS and the Family Community Association collaborate to both host and partici-pate in events on campus, in the surrounding community, with other schools and organizations, locally, regionally, and internationally.

Through these events and opportunities, the school community becomes stronger and new doors are opened for everyone. The successes we achieve together help foster a unique culture, identity, and sense of pride. You can see some examples on the facing page:

Family Day is the first major event of each school year, and takes place in the mid to late September. On this day, all students, families, staff, faculty, administration participate in a day of fun activities all geared to build-ing community spirit and school awareness.

Each May, Aoba-Japan International School hosts the Annual Nadia-Tohoku International Soccer Friendly Cup. The event provides support and awareness to and for those affected the Tohoku earthquake of March 2011 through creating opportunities for children from the region and beyond.

We are partnering with local interests to support community development and awareness, and in particu-lar with regards to international and collaborative opportunities. These include planning and participation in a growing number of events such as the Lohas Festi-val that attracts up to 60,000 people for two days each year. In 2016 we are playing a core role in the planning of a community sports and Soccer event in support of a community pre-Olympic project.

Once per year, the entire A-JIS community comes together to participate in a full day of sports, competi-tion, teamwork, activities, challenge, fun, and friend-ship. Whether the event takes place on campus or at a nearby park, students are engaged in different events and activities that challenge them individually and in teams.

Every April, the entire A-JIS community comes together to plan, prepare, and coordinate the A-JIS Spring Carni-val. For weeks leading up to the event people can be seen around the school working on mysterious projects that are finally unveiled to all on the day of the Carnival. These include events such as the White Elephant Sale, dances and performances, raffle and contests, the dunk tank, games of all assortments, robots, and more.

I have been very impressed with the quality of teaching

and the nature of assignments/projects given to the

Grade 4 class. My son takes all of his

school/homework, assignments, and projects quite

seriously and I am pleased to see that all of his efforts

are reflected in his report card.”

Teachers, we realize that in this Grade 2 class Pedro

evolved very much in writing and conversation. Con-

gratulations Pedro! Thank you teachers!”

Aoba(A-JIS) offers a great opportunity for our children

to experience an international education!

“Our children are becoming international citizens and

global leaders through the school’s “Whole Child”

approach!”

“Thank you for being so supportive throughout the

term. I see great improvement in my son’s reading,

writing, and speaking skills. I also understand that

there is a lot to work on, especially around his

vocabulary…. But he has gained a lot of confidence

around the English language.”

“As parents, we are thril led that our children are learn-

ing to make wise decisions and think like entrepre-

neurs.”

“I was so excited to hear that the school, from top

down, follows an “Active Research” approach. Not

only are the teachers always researching how to

best help my children learn, but they are teaching

them how to be researchers!”

“It’s hard not to notice how friendly, collaborative,

and culturally diverse the A-JIS community is.”

“The School focuses on the “whole child.”

“Our children learn to view things from multiple

perspectives.”

What Parents SayWe are all obliged to participate in ensuring our children have the attributes, skills, and knowledge to prosper and succeed.
