Christian Education at Yokohama Christian School

At our school, Christian education is more than academic instruction—it’s the intentional shaping of hearts and minds to reflect the love, wisdom, and character of Christ. As an English-language international school in Japan, we are blessed to serve families from many cultural and faith backgrounds while remaining rooted in a biblical worldview.

We strive to create a nurturing, Christ-centered environment where every child is known, valued, and supported in their learning and growth. Through high-quality instruction and a caring community, we help students develop strong academic skills, personal integrity, and a heart for others.

Core Values

Our core values guide everything we do:

 

❖  Responsibility – taking ownership of our learning, actions, and choices

❖  Readiness – being prepared to learn, grow, and serve each day

❖  Respect – honoring others as image-bearers of God

❖  Reverence – recognizing and responding to God’s presence in our lives

 

We welcome all families who share our desire to raise children with character, compassion, and purpose. Wherever you come from, we invite you to grow with us.

Classically Inspired Education

Our school draws inspiration from classical education, which emphasizes the development of clear thinking, effective communication, and a love of learning. Through a strong focus on language arts, including reading, writing, speaking and listening, students build a rich vocabulary and the ability to express ideas with confidence and clarity. We also nurture reasoning skills through discussion, questioning, and logical thinking—equipping students not only to absorb information, but to understand, evaluate, and apply it wisely. This approach lays a strong foundation for academic success and thoughtful, purposeful living.
