常見問題
What is "LCA Kitakaruizawa Forest International"?
LCA Kitakaruizawa Forest International is a new school established on the former site of Kita-Karuizawa Elementary School in Naganohara Town, Gunma Prefecture. It operates as an "Educational Curriculum Special School" under the "Global Education Special Zone" initiative, offering immersion education.
What is "Immersion Education"?
Immersion education at this school means that many subjects, such as math, science, and art, are taught in English by foreign homeroom teachers. The goal is for students to learn to use English as a tool for learning and thinking, rather than just studying it as a subject.
What are the unique new subjects offered?
The school offers three distinctive new subjects: English (focusing on practical communication), Hometown Subject (learning about the local area and promoting it globally in English), and Way of Life Subject (enhancing self-esteem and problem-solving skills).
What is the teacher-to-student ratio?
The school practices "extremely small-group education" with a ratio of three teachers for every 15 students per grade. This allows for intensive, individualized instruction.
What is a "Global Education Special Zone"?
A "Global Education Special Zone" is a designation granted by the government to local authorities to promote innovative educational initiatives. In this case, it allowed Naganohara Town to establish LCA Kitakaruizawa Forest International and implement its unique curriculum.
