      <image:caption>GIFTの「国語」はリーディングとライティングの時間が中心となります。選ぶ本は子ども達それぞれの興味を大事にしつつも、様々なジャンルを知ることや、資料としての本の使い方、またICTの活用などについても学びます。個別で読むだけでなく、本についてペアやグループで対話をしたり、読解力、聞く力、物語や詩などを書く力、そして考える力などを育みます。</image:caption>

      <image:caption>P4C, or ‘Philosophy for Children’, is a time when children can engage in the study of philosophy. Focusing on questions that arise in the course of daily life and studies, this period presents an opportunity for both children and adults to engage deeply with the unknown. The capacity for wide-ranging curiosity and the ability to consider the ‘why’ behind something contributes to the indispensable habit of lifelong learning and discovery.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>GIFT School’s language art class focuses primarily on reading and writing skills. Books are chosen with consideration for each child’s interests, and provide opportunities to learn about various genres, the use of books as resource materials, and the utilization of technology. In addition to solo reading time, we also use pair and group work to develop children’s listening, comprehension, and reasoning skills, as well as their ability to write stories and poetry.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Individual study time for core academic skills. Topics are taught in a child-first manner, after being decided one week in advance through consultation between each child and their teacher, and include: 1. Math 2. Japanese (including kanji) 3. English 4. Games 5. Pair work 6. Miniclass. Teaching materials are designed to aid in focus and include workbook and computer usage. As learning is conducted on an individual basis, easily understood topics and skills can be progressed through quickly, while points of difficulty can be explored at a more gradual pace.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>A full two hours of each day are devoted to project-style enquiry-based learning, with children engaging in a thorough examination of a single topic over 2-4 months. Younger students are first exposed to a teacher-lead deep exploration of a certain topic. As they get older, they are gradually tasked with leading the learning experience and expanding the scope of their projects. Project topics focus primarily on science and the humanities and are both cross-domain and practical in nature.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>GIFT School offers two arts-focused curriculums: Arts &amp; Crafts, which explores a variety of media such as painting, sculpture, and filmmaking, and Performing Arts, which teaches music, dance, and acting. While each of these skills are important in their own right, we also believe that the arts possess an enormous power to stimulate a child’s imagination, drive the creation of new ideas and values, and encourage children to explore their limits.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In addition to providing space for children to play outside, GIFT School also offers yoga and meditation sessions. These practices combine to build a healthy, resilient, and supple body, while also contributing to improved mental focus and clarity. Children will learn to experience and regulate a range of feelings, such as stress, anger, and sadness—essential skills for every member of our modern society.</image:caption>
