Linden Hall Elementary School
Linden Hall Elementary School is all about English immersion education, where almost every class, except for Japanese and Moral Education, is taught in English. They have a unique approach, team-teaching each class with an English teacher leading and supported by a Japanese teacher, ensuring a comfortable and comprehensive learning environment.
While English is the focus, they don't forget the importance of Japanese culture. Students get hands-on experience with various Japanese traditions, from cultivating rice and making rice cakes to pottery using locally harvested materials. This deep dive into Japan's seasons and nature fosters a love for their heritage and instills Japanese values of respect and consideration for others—a crucial aspect of a global society.
Their accolades speak volumes: the school building itself won the “Fukuoka Prefecture Beautiful Town Development Award,” known for its leaf-shaped, all-glass exterior called Lindenbaum (Bodaiju). Safety and comfort are prioritized with fully air-conditioned facilities, UV-protected windows, and excellent insulation.
Linden Hall Elementary School's dormitory offers a safe space for commuting students, with a teacher living as a matron, serving homemade meals made from organic veggies. The communal living setup encourages independence in a secure environment.
Their dedication to offering top-notch educational experiences to elementary students is evident, recognizing this critical phase for learning and personal growth. It's a place where students not only thrive academically but also develop as culturally aware and independent individuals, fostering a well-rounded education from a young age.
