Learning Support

Here at Yokohama Christian School we believe that every child deserves access to a quality education. Based on our Christian faith, we see each student as a child of God with unique capabilities. 

 

While our individual resources as a school may be limited, we offer an inclusive environment for students who have a prior diagnosis or IEP already in place. Through the admissions and screening process, we work to discern whether a student is a good fit for the YCS educational environment. If accepted to YCS, teachers, parents and support staff work together to provide the best academic and behavioral support that we can. 

Ultimately, we believe that all children deserve a good education in an environment that allows them to thrive and feel the love of God.

Types of Learning Support

Regular Learning Support

As a small, international school we do not have in-house support for all students who have individual or special needs. However, we are willing to work closely with families and care providers as we work as a team to educate students who have additional learning or support needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL) Support

Starting from this school year, YCS will offer additional language support for English learning. This support will be offered to students who a) request the support or b) are identified as needing additional support to improve their language skills. Language Arts is the foundation of learning for the rest of the academic subjects, therefore supporting students who need a bit of extra help is a top priority.
