Parents' comments
I have been receiving your help since my son started elementary school. Because he was in an English kindergarten, he had a hard time reading hiragana and understanding its meaning. However, thanks to the daily support with his homework and Japanese language studies, he has been able to keep up with the classes without any problems and has not felt any discomfort, which has been a great help.
It's a wonderful school with gentle teachers and a homely atmosphere! My 4-year-old daughter had previously attended another international school for a few months, but she didn't understand what the teachers and her friends were saying, and she started to dislike English. Then, she saw an advertisement for Rainbow and participated in a trial class. The teachers were gentle and my daughter seemed to enjoy participating in the activities, so we decided to enroll her. My daughter was not good at English, so at first she didn't want to go to Rainbow, but the teachers understood her personality and treated her well, and after a few months, she even said, "I want to go to Rainbow." She naturally learned English through fun games and activities, so she seems happy that she is now knowing more words and phrases.
The teachers' love is always apparent, and my son seems to feel very comfortable in the environment, so I think he is able to relax and enjoy his time there, as if it were a second home.
Although it's not in a particularly conspicuous location, this is a place I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn English. There are teachers who excel at teaching English to non-native speakers, and teachers who, having struggled as bilinguals, will make sure that your Japanese and English are not mixed up. Please come and meet them for yourself and see for yourself their charms!

Japanese culture experience:
To become a well-balanced Japanese/English bilingual, it is important to have a solid base with Japanese culture. It will help develop a strong foundation to prepare for future engagement with people having different cultural backgrounds in the future. We also hold events based on seasonal Japanese culture such as mochitsuki, as well as hands-on experiences such as abacus, calligraphy, and tea ceremony.
Acquisition of solid Japanese:
A high level of reading comprehension in the native language is essential for aiming to acquire a foreign language at an advanced level. For Japanese students, we will provide practice to help develop strong confidence as mother language.
