The Horizon Japan International School Summer School program is designed to provide an opportunity for children to enrich their language skills and socialize with new friends through various enjoyable activities. The program will take place at Horizon’s main campus in Yokohama. Children from age 3 to grade 6 are eligible to join. Students who are going to turn three years old by September 1 are welcome. All students must be toilet-trained.
In the program’s relaxed academic environment, students will focus on a variety of activities such as language arts, games, art, drama, outdoor activities, group games, and projects, each based on a weekly theme.
The program is divided into four week-long sessions, taking place from Monday, July 14–Friday, July 18, Tuesday, July 22–Saturday, July 26, Monday, July 28–Friday, August 1, and Monday, August 4–Friday, August 8. The summer school day runs from 9am–3:30pm. Students may sign up for one of the five-day sessions, and do not need to attend the entire program. On the last day of each session, parents are invited to a small presentation to show what students have learned during the week.
Each five-day session costs ¥45,000 (including tax), and a school bus service is available at an extra fee of ¥5,000 per five-day period. The school bus runs two routes — Yokohama/Tsurumi and Hiyoshi/Tsunashima — and is subject to the number of seats available.
Each student should bring a water bottle (preferably with a strap), a toothbrush and some toothpaste, a snack and lunch, a handkerchief, a swimsuit and towel, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, and indoor shoes. Children aged 3 to 5 years should also bring an extra change of clothes, an art smock, and a blanket. All items should be clearly labelled.
