Garden Program
September 29 - December 18
Our Fall Program is a 12-week outdoor learning experience for children ages 6–13, built around two groups:
Explorers (ages 6–9) learn through the garden and nature-based crafts, building real skills with their hands. This term we're adding Japanese literacy, so children can learn to read and write at their own pace.
Builders (ages 8–13) work with real power tools, taught carefully and closely supervised. Projects grow through the term, and some of what they build becomes part of the school.
Sessions follow the rhythms of the season and the energy of the children, rather than a rigid curriculum, letting curiosity lead the way!
Small group sizes ensure every child gets an attentive and high-quality experience.
From ¥20,000 / month
Enrollment fee: ¥5,000 (new families)
"If children don't grow up knowing about nature and appreciating it, they will not understand it. And if they don't understand it, they won't protect it. And if they don't protect it, who will?"
