Sophia University

CLIL Workshop

One guest speaker was a teacher from Finland.  Finland had decided to live with educated population; put money and effort in educating their citizens with income of teachers about two times of others and specialized university degree with it.

HongKong Japanese School global education was very impressive using Math and English learning together. Got the brochures I asked Kermit before and now know what they are.

Ikeda Sensei of Sophia University, the expert on the field of CLIL guided and sponsored us.

The theory and practice rituals are well explained. At the Konshinkai, dinner we had a chance of exchanging our thoughts and Sensei mentioned that Sophia U. is no longer ahead of other private schools, even English language department peak was in 1980's and 1990's, now students will choose Keio and Waseda. The two plus Todai are the inevitable top institutions in Japan. Sensei is a Waseda undergraduate and the president of Sophia U. is longer a Jesuit but a Keio U. graduate.

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow

Yesterday, I wrote my resignation to Yokohama Christian School Board with Kermit.

I went to two Clinics and on the way to submit my prescription, I went to Zee Brothers.

Wayne Zee has a son in St. Maur International School through Yokohama  Christian School.

How do you get in as a pre-school/kindergarten? The answer was it was easy before; ask Mrs. Kwan who was in charge; now she retired so as Ms. Thomas,the big head and Mrs. Endo the principal all retired, so we don't know who to go; looks like the principal make the decision

and Yokohama International School is almost same. He told me a case of Taiwan family had to fly in for three days to have the interview.  He said that St. Maur say they have sports, but he thinks it is not to the level of Boy Schools. Plus he said St. Maur summer school is only playing and not impressive.

He wished a school like the British School in Tokyo will be in Yokohama. Everything good seems to be in Tokyo.

When Mr. Bracha was the Director of St. Maur's, I just asked him for such case. I think in St. Mary's, it was Mr. Haku.  I think in Nishimachi International School has had been like today's international school entrance, a decision of a principal.
