Japanese:
Typically children become increasingly familiar with English and its way of thinking as they are schooled in this country. Our job is to teach them reading and writing of, and ways of thinking in, Japanese carefully and patiently. We adapt our pedagogy according to the different needs of different children. Our teaching staff had experience teaching in Japan as well as here in US. We are dedicated to sharing the strengths of Japanese culture with your children through the language.

Mathematics:
What's number? Fraction? Equations? Or algebra? We are committed to teaching students the fundamental meaning of these concepts and what we need them for. We then take students to net steps, where they learn why and how accepted formulae work and when they are helpful. We teach students skills to solve problems by themselves. Students will learn the importance of math in their lives, and recognize the joy of understanding it. We can also provide assistance to students' schoolwork or their preparation for an entrance exam. When it is helpful, we introduce the pedagogies established in Japan and help every student find a way to solve mathematical questions by themselves. This program is suitable for students who don't like math or feel not good at it. The program is designed by Director Mukai, a charismatic teacher with years of experience in teaching math to people at different levels.

ELA:
We sometimes observe children who are native speakers of English yet unable to express their thoughts effectively due to the restrictions on their vocabulary and ability of composition. To be able to think clearly and make informed decisions, children need to accurately understand what is being presented and then respond to it by formulating effective answers. That is exactly what we do at Starchild. We do not just ask students memorize words, but teach them patiently, sometimes by lecturing about the etymologies of these words. In teaching reading, furthermore, we make sure to encourage students to pay attention to the context of what is being written (such as author's cultural background). Along with helping build this foundation, we also help children do homework and prepare for tests for their school, or prepare them for an entrance exam. Our program is perfect for students wishing to be true bilinguals.
