Jyoti's Family

What can you say about the Teachers at Cambridge?
We can’t thank Cambridge International enough for making Jyoti’s daycare experience stress-free and highly enjoyable. Jyoti has been attending Cambridge for just over a year since she turned 1 years old. Since then, the teachers at Cambridge have taken very good care of her. They are very patient, cheerful and loving towards the children under their care. Jyoti really looks forward to going to daycare, which I think is a testament to the caring and supportive environment at Cambridge International.
What has changed since your child has joined Cambridge?
Jyoti has not only become more confident in her communication skills but has also learned a lot of important life skills like sharing, using the potty, washing her hands, feeding her self and cleaning up. She has also made a lot of new friends, more than her mother and father. :) And it is really lovely seeing the friendships grow.
What are the good points about Cambridge?
Four points stand out for me about Cambridge.
Firstly, I really like how they seem to use fun to educate the children. Jyoti seems to love the song and dance, story time and craft time. Secondly, the weekly themes are a very good way to expand the child's vocabulary and exposure to the world around them. Thirdly, the family events like the Halloween party, sports day, Christmas party and Valentine's party gives the parents and an opportunity to take part in some of the fun and also get a better feel for how things are run at the school. Finally, the written weekly feedbacks are a really valuable in getting a better sense of your child's progress and areas that need more attention.
What do you think about Jyoti’s English?
Jyoti’s vocabulary has improved substantially and she has become confident in communicating in English.
What is your overall opinion about Cambridge?
We feel very lucky to have found the school and are very happy that Jyoti is really enjoying and thriving under the care of Cambridge International.

Hana's Family

What is your overall opinion about Cambridge?
We are fortunate that we have this opportunity to have a great school, teachers and friends. Hana explores a lot through math classes and science experiments. I’m happy that she can play and study with her friends. I’m satisfied that Cambridge International school has a good curriculum which includes academic subjects and fun activities. We can see our daughter’s progress through a lot of worksheets or crafts she brings back home. Since I’m working, the schedule and extension program help a lot.
What can you say about the Teachers at Cambridge?
I appreciate the teachers a lot. They are all hard workers and I can trust them. They care about students all the time and host excellent events.
What has changed since your child has joined Cambridge?
Hana plays in English when she plays on her own at home. She loves math problems and she writes addition and subtraction questions on her sketchbook and gives me questions. She learns phonics at home so she can pronounce each sound and blend them to read. She also leaned to sing English songs.
What are the good points about Cambridge?
Hana has been at Cambridge International since she was two and half. She started being in an English environment before she had learned Japanese, she could acquire natural English pronunciation and intonation. I struggled with English grammar when I was a student. However, I’m amazed that Hana naturally understands English grammar and uses it fluently.

Aoi's Family

What is your overall opinion about Cambridge?
We can trust the school because the school atmosphere is friendly and teachers care all the students. My daughter can have a lot of interesting experience through the international environment there.
What can you say about the Teachers at Cambridge?
They are all nice and care about students first. My daughter can learn about different culture from the teachers. I can see the teachers’ professionalism at the events.
What has changed since your child has joined Cambridge?
I’m always surprised that my daughter can communicate in Japanese at home and in English at school without having any confusion. She has been improving her communication skills in both languages quickly. Her pronunciation is also very clear and natural.
In your opinion what were the advantages of learning English since being a toddler?
My daughter won’t feel difficulty with learning a new language. She can think in English as a language rather than as a subject at school and acquire it through fun activities and daily life.
What are the good points about Cambridge?
My daughter has got used to the society and learned to sit down, concentrate on a task and listen to others. As I see her talking with her friends in English, I appreciate that she is able to have precious experiences that I cannot give her.
Comments
My daughter likes craft time at school. She talks about the art work she brings back home and explains about it. Cambridge Art curriculum is unique and creative and I enjoy seeing her work every day.

Hiroki and Jiei's Family

What is your overall opinion about Cambridge?
I like the friendly atmosphere at the school. Cambridge has a lot of activities such as dancing and park time and my sons can have a lot of fun. They always look forward to going to school. I also feel my sons’ growth and different behavior which they don’t really show at home but I can see at school events.
What can you say about the Teachers at Cambridge?
They are friendly and take care of my sons well, they both like all the teachers. I appreciate that they share my sons’ improvement all the time.
What has changed since your child has joined Cambridge?
One day, Hiroki talked to a foreign child at a park and played with them. I was happy to see he didn’t hesitate to use English not only at the school but in his daily life. Jiei started saying “please” and “this” when he was 1 and half years old. He shows the songs and dances he learns at school.
In your opinion what were the advantages of learning English since being a toddler?
I think being in English environment can make children learn natural English sounds. Knowing a second language gave us opportunity to get interested in different culture too.
What are the good points about Cambridge?
What I like about Cambridge International is they respect individual characters. I, as a parent, feel glad to see my children enjoy going to school.
