Background of the Event
While opportunities for children to engage with English are increasing, the reality is that there are limited environments where they can immerse themselves daily in an "English world" and express their individuality. Aoba-BBT Global has supported children's English learning through its online bilingual development school "GO School" and its online English conversation school for children "Hatchlink Junior."
This program combines the expertise of both services to provide an experience of "playing in English and learning in English" during the special summer holiday period. The venue will be Summerhill International School (Motoazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo), an International Baccalaureate (IB) PYP authorized school within the Aoba-BBT Group. High-quality activities will be provided through a program jointly developed by a former Aoba Japan Bilingual Preschool principal and curriculum coordinator.
