Field Trips

Undokai (Field Athletic Day)
Preschool and Kindergarten have their Undoukai in September at Saint Lous School. 1st grade to 9th grade students participate in Undoukai in November at Kaiser High School.
Class Visits
School hours of any supplementary school are very limited compared to any schools in Japan, so students have to study under stressful conditions. Because of this, individual study at home is crucial. Therefore, school and parents should work together and instruct students from each respective standpoint.
As a mean to improve the effectiveness of the instruction, the school plans and carries out the program of class visits by parents. The school also schedules class and individual conferences.
