A Warm Welcome from the Founder of SkyCrest International School

It is my great privilege to welcome you to SkyCrest International School.
Ours is a nurturing and dynamic learning community where children’s curiosity knows no bounds, and their joy is contagious.

As educators, our dedicated staff not only provides high-quality education but also ensures that every day is filled with the excitement and fun that childhood should be about.

At SkyCrest, we aim to create an environment where every child feels valued, appreciated, and encouraged to thrive. Our goal is to build a school community that not only understands and challenges each child but also embraces them for who they truly are. Our team is made up of exceptional individuals, all committed to working together for the well-being and success of your child and your family.

A Stimulating, Safe, and Respectful Environment

First and foremost, we are committed to providing a stimulating, safe, and respectful environment where children feel empowered to explore, learn, and grow. We embrace the “whole child” philosophy, recognizing and nurturing their unique differences and learning styles. Our approach encourages children to develop meaningful relationships with their peers and engage in collaborative learning experiences. Whether they are engaging in abstract thinking, creative problem-solving, or logical analysis, we support each child in becoming a well-rounded, confident thinker.

Inquiry-Based Learning: An Engaging Curriculum

Our curriculum is built on an inquiry-based learning model, with each month dedicated to exploring a different theme in-depth. This thematic approach allows us to focus on a specific topic over an extended period of time, fostering deep exploration through projects, reading, and hands-on activities. The slower, more intentional pacing of our curriculum gives children the space and time to absorb and reflect on what they’re learning, creating lasting, meaningful educational experiences.

Emphasizing Play-Based Learning

We also place great emphasis on the value of play as an essential component of a child’s growth and development. We incorporate Maddy play, a unique approach that fosters creative expression, critical thinking, and emotional resilience through imaginative and free play. In addition to Maddy play, we embrace nature play—a practice deeply rooted in Japanese culture—that encourages children to learn and explore through direct interaction with the natural world. Whether it's playing outdoors, exploring forests, or engaging in natural materials, we believe that nature-based learning fosters curiosity, creativity, and environmental stewardship.

An International, Culturally Rich Education

At SkyCrest, our students not only develop academic skills, but also learn the values of respect, discipline, and gratitude through the cultural richness of Japan.

Through exposure to Japanese traditions, language, and customs, as well as a truly international environment, we aim to cultivate global-minded individuals who will thrive in a connected world.

I am confident that once you do, you will see, as I do, that SkyCrest International School recognizes each student as a unique individual with infinite potential.

Thank you for considering SkyCrest International School for your child’s education.

We look forward to welcoming you to our family.

Warm regards,

Ayaka Akiyama
