Student Programme

Moving into the next Frontier of education is not about technology, it is how we can learn from Nature. We use technology to assist in our learning. Nature offers us 3.8 billions years of R&D and life solutions. Our unique location allows us to embrace Nature, through Nature children build confidence, enhance their creativity and strengthen communication skills. Our Karuizawa learning hub focuses on these concepts: creativity, collaboration, community, global and nature. Come join us and create a learning community for our children and ourselves.
