The School stesses that their comprhesive program and English language emersion program is very important. The school writes, "Based on Tamagawa Gakuen's unique integrated education "K-12," which considers from kindergarten to high school as one school, we aim to nurture and produce next-generation leaders who can play an active role internationally. In 2016, from the new first year students, "BLES class" started. Through bilingual education that emphasizes both Japanese and English, we foster true international people who think in two languages." The School also places an emphasis on leaning skills which they believe is aprobkem in Japanese education. The School insists that the is the ability to communicate is important and to thar end, learning skills are vital. The School explains, " Most Japanese classes focus on lectures to convey knowledge, but that alone does not improve thinking,” said Ken Goto, director of the Education Department. 'Learning skills' are being worked on to develop the ability to convey one's thoughts (= thinking ability). In order to develop thinking skills to 'examine, compare, and classify' to solve problems, we will continue to provide learning skills classes from kindergarten to 12th grade (high 3).
1st and 2nd grade students have 5 hours a year, 3rd grade students and above have 2 hours a week. In order to 'look up', after learning how to look up a dictionary efficiently and how to use the Internet, the characteristics of familiar items such as apples and mandarin oranges are examined, and the focus is on the shape, smell and taste. We will exchange opinions on the points, and use the Venn diagram to make a 'comparison/classification'." The School has a required uniform for the younger students.
