Last year We introduced a phased plan for classroom refurbishment focusing on two classrooms each at the ES, MS and HS divisions of the school and redesigned Lab 1 to better support access to learning for all.

The resulting  feedback from students and faculty as to how the refurbishment has had a positive influence on the learning environment and on our approaches to teaching and learning strategies has encouraged us to continue reimagining classroom spaces.

This year we would like to move to phase 2 of the plan with a concentration on a further two classrooms at each division level in ES, HS and MS.

PROJECT GOAL: ¥8,000,000

Our emphasis on revitalizing a drama program from ES to HS this year has involved the employment of a full time Drama teacher, the further development of our drama program and various performance experiences. 
Our approach involves not only the actors on the stage but also the backstage crew.  A robust drama program also teaches students the staging process of any production. Student involvement is key to any performance moving from the page of the script to the stage and the audience. We have converted our MPR into a more adaptable staging space involving changing color schemes, a new sound system and projector and more organized storage spaces. 

Lightning is key to any production and we want our stage crews to learn the ‘tricks of the trade” when it comes to lighting and staging a performance.

PROJECT GOAL: ¥500,000
