In our Summer Grades 3 & 4 Lab Science classes, students will develop their scientific reasoning skills through a range of fun, hands-on inquiries. Our unique curriculum is designed to provide a head start on late elementary and middle school science concepts while also fostering critical thinking. Each term of our summer classes is centered around a different theme, topics such as force and motion, electricity and magnetism, and Earth science. Build a simple robot, engineer the perfect paper airplane, see who can build the tallest paper tower, and more! For more details or to find out what themes will be offered each term, feel free to contact us.

Activities like making oobleck provide students hands-on experience with phenomena that aren't so readily observable in our everyday lives (non-Newtonians fluids, in the case of oobleck). Other activities, like building model skyscrapers, let students apply the scientific method to test their hypotheses, a process that does wonders to build students' critical thinking skills.

In our Summer Grades 7 & 8 Lab Science classes, students will develop research skills and get a head start on high-school level science concepts in an approachable and fun way. Our unique laboratory- and field-based curriculum is centered around a different theme each term, themes such as animal behavior, ecology, and food science. Connect with animals through wildlife observation, model how cephalopod camouflage works, explore real world applications of chemistry concepts through cooking, and more! For more details or to find out what themes will be offered each term, feel free to contact us.

Students will learn standard observation methods for animal research, then apply them to a small-scale animal observation research project they design under the guidance of their lab instructor. After collecting data, students will analyze their data and present their findings in the form of an academic poster presentation. In addition to the mini research project, students will also explore the science behind unusual animal adaptations through hands-on experimentation and modeling: the camouflaging capabilities of cephalopods, the genetic basis for the dormouse's Methuselah-like longevity, and more!

Middle School Test Preparation
Middle school is often when students experience standardized tests for the very first time. To avoid the mixture of anxiety, lack of sleep, and tears, students should start early. In this summer course, students will work through resources and strategies aimed at some of the most common and widely recognized Middle School tests: SSAT, ISEE, and MAP. Each course requires 2-3 hours of homework, so students should be careful about taking both English and Math classes in one summer Term.
(NOTE: for long-term support, we recommend that students take private lessons after completing these courses.)
English Test Preparation
(SSAT, ISEE, MAP)
¥140,000/term
The reading and verbal sections of these standardized tests push students to answer and read several questions and passages in a fixed amount of time. Passages range from narrative to non-fiction to poetry, and the vocabulary questions task students with recalling synonyms, filling the blanks, and coming up with analogies. To improve their reading skills, students engage in various passage types, the process of elimination, question type strategies, and time-management techniques. When it comes to the verbal section, students learn over 100 test-centric words, roots, prefixes, suffixes, and test strategies for analogy and synonym questions. Students are expected to complete roughly 2-3 hours of homework per day. This is an intensive course!

The math sections of standardized tests throw curveballs that can confuse students if they are unprepared. Often, students will learn math topic-by-topic at school; however, in standardized tests, all of the topics are mixed together, requiring students to strategically identify and approach each question in a fixed amount of time. In this course, students will learn the strategies and skills that produce point increases on the SSAT, ISEE, and MAP math sections, raising their overall percentiles. Topics include but are not limited to: ratios, proportions, conversion, equations, probability, geometry, exponents, radicals, and functions. Students are expected to complete roughly 2-3 hours of homework per day. This is an intensive course!
