Saturday School

Tokyo YMCA International School Saturday School is
a great opportunity to maintain and further improve
English proficiency cultivated in overseas or international settings.
It is imperative to establish an environment where English is consistently utilized.
We actively participate in diverse activities utilizing English
as a primary means of communication.
Moreover, during Academic sessions utilizing textbooks,
our objective is to enhance proficiency across all four language skills.
