Chateau School offers an exclusive method created to flow with their Montessori education. For piano, a brain-training program is created by one of the top six solo pianists at the International Chopin Festival in Vienna. Through this brain-stimulating method created exclusively for Chateau School, diplomats learn to be sound conscious, to control their speed (playing fast and playing slow), and to rest when needed by staying still and silent.
Meditation is another method offered, through a certified yoga instructor and therapist, who has a Master of Science in Psychoanalytic Developmental Psychology and worked closely with children with cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, learning difficulties, autism, ADHD, and other developmental challenges. Since the 3/11 Great East Japan Earthquake, she has been involved with psychosocial support after disaster, as well as treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder at the National Institute of Mental Health.
Christmas is coming soon and diplomats will be “travelling” to the Scandinavian countries, where they will examine the simple but stylish wooden furniture, explore the mystery of the northern lights, and visit a planetarium to discover the beauty of space.
In other news, Chateau Bon Bon recently launched a new website at http://www.chateau-school.com, focusing just on the school. — SHIORI ANDO
