The ability to speak another language, especially English, is an invaluable skill with benefits that last a lifetime. No wonder so many people work so hard trying to master it. But in fact it doesn’t have to be so difficult, if you get a head start that is.
Our goal at Oita International Preschool is to provide the right environment for children to get a vital head start without all the hassle.
It is the right combination of small class sizes, comprehensive curriculum and a child’s uninhibited ability to assimilate new sounds and ideas that makes learning English easy. At Oita International Preschool children spend the day having fun playing and learning English in a natural way.
With a curriculum that includes music, art, gymnastics, arithmetic, science and more, there is never a dull moment.
Furthermore, Oita International Preschool has a preparatory course for 5 year olds that ensures they have the necessary Japanese language ability to transfer smoothly into elementary school.
English is not simply another foreign language, but the global lingua franca. It is the language of choice, used extensively at multinational cultural, social, and sporting events. OIP’s English language early education program has been created to provide children with the means of communication they will need to become citizens in the international community.
Through everyday interaction with our foreign teaching staff and special guest teachers, we aim to create a unique international awareness in our students. At OIP we instill our students with an unbiased respect and appreciation for all humanity.
We raise children to be kind and compassionate towards all living things. The lessons they learn at OIP will help them become contributing members of their local and international communities.
Spending the day immersed in the unique environment at OIP, children live in English rather than study it. In this low pressure natural way children learn and retain more.
OIP’s teaching staff is made up of native English teachers and certified Japanese child care workers.
Throughout the year OIP hosts various international events like Easter, Halloween and Christmas while also taking great pride in traditional Japanese events like the Star Festival (Tanaba).
