On a trip of the "individuality" discovery
The Fukuyama Akenohoshi Elementary school aimed at the all-round education that "let all which each one received from God flower" since the opening of a school of 1964 as a Catholic parochial school.
"The star of the dawn arrests a seal in the durability for the mind of the person having an adventure sensitively and words of first principal sister Mary Francis make use of sensible adaptability make an effort, and all staff of a school ticks away I create the education that is new for the new times" in mind, and they will create the school education activity.
The school education target "brings up power to survive each person's individuality in a drawer, international community".
This aim is comprised of two elements.
The first turn is discovery of "the individuality". Own individuality including own being good at it, favorite thing, the interesting thing finds something out and polishes it and aims for what it brightens.
As well as a lecture, "experience" becomes the important "key" "an experience" to realize this aim. "The world of the summer child" of the fourth grader, a characteristic creates the opportunities through the enhancement in the everyday class by the education study that there is let alone the basic event including "the pre-yell training trip" of the sixth grader "the school camping trip" of the fifth grader including language arts, an English department.
It is revealed, and, as well as the acquisition of the language of other countries, the difference between oneself and others admits to achieve the second aim "surviving in international community", and a manner and a posture to accept are demanded. Therefore, by a school year, the class as the cross axle, the hierarchy group as the vertical axis, I cultivate the flexibility of the making of human relations.
Furthermore, I bring up a "feeling of self-affirmation" by the religious education "heart to appreciate" "mind to serve others" "mind not to lose sight of a ray of hope while it is difficult either" and by practicing "a class meeting" continuously, cultivate collaboration characteristics, independence, autonomy.
While the successive staff of a school and a protector and children make an effort assiduously, and they progress little by little, I knit education demanded in the times when traditional is new when I make it and gave it and will evolve it.
※"A class meeting" is talks activity to perform that child oneself solves everyday problems.
