  Our school aims to nurture children's intellectual curiosity and support spontaneous learning in a free and open environment. We hope that as they grow, they will develop the ability to think independently, solve problems creatively, and live with strength and imagination.
  
  Ichinomiya Town is located on the Pacific coast, just a 10-minute drive from Tsurigasaki Beach, the venue for the surfing competition during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It’s a peaceful and comfortable place to live, with a mild climate and rich natural surroundings.
