Welcome, returning and new families, to Yokohama Christian School for this 2022-2023 school year! I hope that every family has been able to rest and recharge for the new school year in whatever way you could during this summer vacation.

We have all been living with the covid-19 pandemic for more than two years and are familiar with health and safety protocols. We will continue to follow government guidelines, but will update and change as new policies are announced. When changes in policy are made that impact YCS, we will send out emails and updates to all families as soon as possible. 

As we continue as a school amidst a difficult time, I am happy to announce that the Yokohama Christian School Theme for 2022-2023 is:

We love because God first loved us. 

1 John 4:19

This theme is deeply tied to how we want all of our community – teachers, staff, students – to be in the world; we want to share and spread love. The YCS community will be focusing on how we can show love and grow in love throughout the year. 

It is my prayer this year for a safe and fulfilling school year for our students, parents and teachers. Give all of us the grace as a community to come together, as people from many places around the world, in the common goal of education for our children.

If you are a parent interested in Yokohama Christian School, I encourage you to browse our website and see for yourself what a special place YCS is. Feel free to contact us for more information or to schedule a school tour.

In His Service,

Alisha N. Yamamori
