Philosophy
International Montessori Olive Kindergarten was established to provide the most important early childhood education, centered on Christian principles. It aims to offer the best education through three pillars: Montessori education, Bilingual education, and Biblical teachings.
-
Montessori Education: Unlocks children's potential, fostering independent thinking, decision-making, and actions, and provides deep education in life skills, senses, language, mathematics, and culture.
-
Bilingual Education: Ensures proficiency in Japanese while teaching English, fostering an international perspective.
-
Biblical Teachings: Develops a strong sense of ethics and morals.
Our dedicated English teachers ensure a fully bilingual environment with diverse daily activities, focusing on holistic education for each child's intellectual and physical well-being.
