◉The role of schools in
recent years has been changing. If the goal is simply to acquire knowledge, this can be achieved by using textbooks, reference books, online tutoring services (both paid and free), and video streaming services from major educational content providers. That is why schools must provide opportunities to acquire a great deal of knowledge, but without becoming overly focused on that alone. They must be places where students can experience the joy of expanding their world by interacting with others and learning from their perspectives, which can be gained through spending time in a group. Nishiyamato Gakuen, while operating online, will continue to educate children as a "school" with this as its core principle.

◉Learning together with classmates through interactive live sessions
"Hey, let me see that more clearly," one student said to another. This was a scene from a ZOOM class held at Nishiyamato Gakuen one day. After the student showed them, the teacher continued, "Can you tell everyone what kind of tricks you used?" Nishiyamato Gakuen insists on "interactive live classes" rather than video streaming because they value the opportunity to make comments that can only be made in that moment, and to encourage stimulation and mutual improvement among the other children who are watching. "Class consciousness" makes a big difference in motivation.

◉ High-Quality Teachers at Nishiyamato Gakuen:
Teachers must always understand the objectives of the lesson (what students will understand and what they will be able to do). They must assess the level of development appropriate for each age group, always acknowledge the children's progress, and continuously present them with the next hurdle they feel they can overcome. Furthermore, the quality required of online supplementary schools is to make lessons even easier to understand than in-person classes, to encourage mutual learning among students, and to convey a lively atmosphere even through a screen. The teachers at Nishiyamato Gakuen hold Japanese teaching licenses or have many years of experience in supplementary school education, and are a group of teachers who are passionate about teaching Japanese to children living in America. Please feel confident entrusting your child's education to us.
