Aoba-Japan International School (A-JIS) staff and faculty all chipped in to help beautify the new campus after the summer break.
With construction delays causing A-JIS to start school at its Suginami campus instead of Hikarigaoka, the administration decided that one of the orientation days would be a good chance to come together and work as a team. Staff enthusiastically threw themselves into the task of helping make the new campus an amazing place to learn. Over forty members showed up ready to renovate, and throughout the day they enjoyed hard work, fun conversations, and an amazing team-building activity. At the end of the very hot day everyone felt a sense of fulfilment with a job well done and a new sense of commitment to each other and the school.
A-JIS will start classes at the new campus on October 11. The new campus at Hikarigaoka is nearly three times the size of the current campus, and features a gymnasium, a swimming pool, a larger stage, and specialized classrooms allowing for an overall improved program.
The school, students, and parents are looking forward to the increased opportunities the new campus will provide. With many special programs planned for the upcoming year, the school community is excited as they anticipate a wealth of new experiences. — ROYCE JACOBS
