What We Teach

Religious Education

We teach each child that they are an irreplaceable blessing of life given by God and each have been granted different gifts from God. Students pray and worship with their friends and teachers.

Health

To promote health, we encourage children to play barefoot outside in the summer and to have outdoor activities everyday, even in the winter. Children do rhythmic exercise, go swimming, play in the mud, play soccer and tag. We encourage them to dress lightly to become more robust and less fettered emotionally, resulting in helping to bring up a healthier body.

Environment

Children learn the importance of life through taking care of rabbits, other small animals, and growing vegetables and flowers. Also, they learn about the beauty and the marvel of nature by touching natural objects such as nuts, leave, stones, and sea shells. Through these experiences of touch, the children learn the value of thinking about and feeling things for themselves.

Language

We have a library of picture story books available for both book readings and for lending. A sense for words is developed by listening to old traditional stories and memorizing the lines of the nativity play. Children learn to express their thoughts through class discussions on various topics.

Human Relationships

With the warm support from their parents and teachers, children learn how to build friendships, learning how to make rules of conduct that allow them to both assert themselves and pay heed to the thoughts and desires of their friends, forming the basis for comfortable social interaction with classmates.

Expression

We encourage expression through providing various materials with which the children can draw on, make things with, and learn how to select materials by shape and color. Expression is also taught through learning traditional children’s songs, with the goal of raising children in a musically rich environment.
