About us
 
   Thank you very much for interested in Fine Kids International. Childhood is most important time for making the foundation of learning languages. Children learn Japanese language naturaly just by being in Japan, but it is not that easy to learn English in Japan. In order to put a non native English speaking child in an English speaking environment in Japan, you have to look for the chance consciously. And it is also important to help to make the foundation of the language and human formation for the child. At Fine Kids International, children can experience to speak and understand in an environment that's full of English. And we will let them learn the manners and customs of an international society at the same time. Also we let children experience the culture and the events of Japan and other countries, and teach them to accept many different cultures and races. We always intend to educate them to be international
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Educational Goal
 
◎ To educate them to be a considerate and self-expressive child.

2008 Early Enrollment Discount Course
 
   Fine Kids International proudly supports the continuation of education in the English language for children from native English
speaking countries. We will also offer a double discount to those families who are coming from english speaking nations with english as a first language. Due to the fact your child will feel familiar in an engish school abroad and would also be a cultural language exchange to other schoolmates learing english. To ease the difficulty of foreign families with children enrolled in our school, we offer a modified course plan.FIne Kids International's admissions process is designed to allow the applicant and the School to develop clear appraisals of each other. Although students may enter at any grade level, and from any month, most students enter from April as Japanese traditional school starts in April and ends in March. This discount will be offered until October 31st to those who resister their child for 2008 school year (from April 2nd 2008 to March 2009).
   Applications are handled on a rolling admissions basis. An entrance examination and on-school interview (both for applicant and for his/her parents) are part of the admissions process. Language used in the interview can be either Japanese or English. Before taking the examination, all the applicants must pay a examination fee when you apply. Applicants will be notified of the admission status and discounted monthly fee by mail. If you decided to have no discount for your child's monthly fee, we will return the examination fee.
Fine Kids International admits students of any race, color, and national or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the School. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, or national or ethnic origin in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship, athletics, and other school administrative programs, including its faculty and staff recruitment.

Entrance Conditions: 
 
   *Parents are both enthusiastic about learning English and interested in a long term. Understanding the educational policy and cooperation with it is also essential. Should the parent/guardian(s) decide to end enrollment in Fine Kids International in under a year, you will be referred to a different course/payment plan. (If you leave our school earlier, we will deduct the charge of \20,000 from your deposit)
   Parents should minimally communitcate with English teachers at Fine Kids by greeting in English. Also when calling our school there is a chance an english teacher may answer the phone so its helpful to give simple information in English such as "I will pick my child (name) up at (time) today. This is very important because your childern will hear you speak some English and this will give them confidence to learn a new language.
