ENGLISH EDUCATION IS THE BEST WE CAN GIVE TO OUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN, ENROLL THEM AT GIS AND KNOW THE DIFFERENCE!

What is Guam International School?

 Our goal is not just to get the ability to speak English for children who will support the world’s future. English is an important window for them to see the world. We want them to be active to communicate with people around the world. 

 Nowadays, through English education, they should communicate with people by their own will, and live lives with social skills to understand diversity.

 We have several foreign teachers so that children have a lot of opportunities to speak English and do various activities with them.

 Last year in our Summer School we had online classes where Guam University’s teachers participated. It was the first time but become an exciting experience for children. We will continue this program.

 Now Saitama city keeps the highest level of Global Study. We are supporting the city can dispatch teachers to Guam, and making the elementary English class online connecting with Guam.

Guam International School Founding Thoughts

Make use of the interaction with Guam in the education of children.

Keiichi Okouchi, the founder of our school, was appointed by the Governor of Guam on June 20, 2000 with the title of “Guam Honorary Ambassador at Large” for the exchange between Guam and Japan. 

we have been visiting and interacting Merizo Elementary School in Merizo village in the southern district every fall, and a training exchange agreement for English teachers has been planned between the University of Guam and Saitama City. 

“I want to continue doing what I can do as Guam’s Honorary Ambassador at Large in order to continue the exchange without problems.” 

With that in mind, we are making efforts to make this school a part of our activities. 

 

“ENGLISH LEARNING IS AT ITS PEAK, BECAUSE CHILDREN HERE ARE LOVED AND MOTIVATED!”

Guam Honorary Ambassador at Large, Keiichi Okouchi.

In the wake of his appointment of the 6th PTA chairman of Kamiko Elementary School in Saitama city, he has served as a chairman of the Omiya City PTA Federation, a permanent director of the Saitama PTA Federation, a PTA chairman of Sakuragi Junior High School in Saitama city and a PTA chairman of Saitama Prefectural Omiya High School. 

On June 20, 2000, he was appointed as “Honorary Ambassador at Large” by the Governor of Guam for exchange between Guam and Japan. After taking office, the University of Guam and Saitama City planned a training exchange agreement for English teachers. 

Preschool

 

What is Guam International School Preschool?
(For 1-2.7 years old) 

From 1 to 2.7 years old, native teachers and Japanese (nursery teacher) staff provide early English education and work on the theme of problem finding and solving skills. 

There is toilet training, lunch instruction, etc., but we do not set a special time for “nap”. If children want to sleep, they will be educated to go to the “sleeping space” themselves. Depending on their age, we offer a pick-up service.

Now Preschool is closed from October 2022.

After School

What is Guam International School After School?
(Kindergarten to 4th grade)

Children from 1st to 4th grade of elementary school spend the day using only English in a place where they can enjoy playing after school. Children learn to respect their Japanese identity and enjoy learning English as a Second Language (ESL). A place to play, enjoy and learn in daily life. That is GIS. Native teachers and bilingual staff will provide guidance to children, so that they can experience Japanese and foreign cultures and gain various experiences to develop their individuality and international sensibilities. 

In addition, we hold a “Saturday school” every Saturday for toddlers and children attending nearby kindergartens and elementary schools. Students can experience an international school for a long time (6 hours) and learn from native teachers.
