During French school holidays (winter, Easter, summer, All Saints' Day, Christmas) and Japanese (end of March, Golden Week, summer, New Year), the French-Japanese School International organizes its renowned holiday schools during which your children aged 3 to 12 years will be able to enjoy their holidays in EIFJ's  beautiful, safe and conveniently located educational environment in Tokyo Kita-ku, under the supervision of our school certified teachers (many also teach during school holidays), French language experts, English ESL teachers, Japanese certified teachers, assistants and teachers in training.

For children below 3 years old, please refer to the short-term childcare program in the nursery.

CURRICULUM

The program will be determined shortly before the opening of the holiday school, activities are particularly interesting: strengthening of skills (languages, sciences, general knowledge), legendary stories, park discovery walks, treasure hunts, introduction to musical instruments, choirs, physical and sports activities, dance, cooking, gardening, visits and support for elderly people in the neighborhood, major art projects etc.

It is also a unique opportunity to make new acquaintances outside the family and school circle, to discuss and develop social skills and autonomy, living together and the notion of sharing. The holiday school, like the short-term childcare program available 365 days a year, is also an excellent springboard to gradually accustom your child to preschool, kindergarten or elementary schooling at EIFJ. Lastly, the holiday school is an opportunity to discover extracurricular activities which are often also available also during school holidays (music, sports and science especially).

• The class begins at 8:30 a.m. with a circle time.
• Each day: two workshops to strengthen fundamental knowledge, learning and discoveries; two recreations including a swimming pool recreation in summer and in the Fall, initiations, pactical works that students can bring back home, quiet time.
• Each week, three trips to the nearby parks, including those with pools in summer.
• Each holiday school: whenever possible, a school bus trip (to the zoo, to the museum, to a park or historic site, to the aquarium, etc.), a civic day, a traditional festival (French, Japanese and/or international). Birthdays are celebrated individually, just like all year round.

Photos and sometimes videos of your child's workshops and school trips are uploaded every day via the Seesaw application, which also allows you to communicate at any time with teachers and administration. A weekly newsletter explaining in detail the content of everyday’s activity is posted online for families.
