Welcome to Aoba-Japan International School’s Summer Program 2025! Now is the time to make plans for summer. We will have two very special programs as part of our Aoba Summer Program this year. The regular program focuses on inquiry-based and hands-on activity-based learning, and this year there is also a strong emphasis on music sessions, where students can enjoy learning to play music instruments. In addition, we are excited to offer the special AI project-building program by a team of Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League alumni this year. We have also added a team sports, musical instrument special course, and English language skills session in the after-school session.

Moreover, there will be a music recital on Friday and parents can join it and also can visit other summer program classes too on that day. *Class registration will close when student number reaches our maximum capacity.

How Summer School Works

Regular programs (Inquiry & Activity based learning) This program provides a student-centered, inquiry-based, hands-on program where students learn in a relaxed and engaging environment. Inquiry-based learning includes English, Japanese, music, and sports, including pool time. Hands-on activity-based learning is for Grade 3 and up, and is mainly physical movement with inquiry-based, hands-on activities and experiences. Due to the nature of the activity, G2 and under will have inquiry-based learning for all sessions but different content.

Special performance focused programs (Musical theater program) Aoba-Japan International School offers students the life-changing opportunity to learn, practice, and perform under the guidance of professional faculty in the field at Musical Theatre Summer Camp. The camp provides two different programs based on the student grade levels.
