Elementary Curriculum
 

From the graph below you will see that in grades 1-3, all subjects apart from Japanese Language Arts are taught in English. From grade 4 students add Social Studies, Music, Art and PE to their Japanese studies.

   

The immersion teachers at Katoh School have developed an English curriculum to meet the unique needs of the students in the immersion program. The Japanese textbooks for Math and Science have been translated into English and are used by the immersion teachers and students. The same content is never taught in both languages, however there are weekly opportunities to review scientific and mathematical terminology in Japanese.

 

Students in the immersion program are given the same unit tests, prefecture tests and standardized national tests as students in the Katoh regular program. Students in the immersion program are expected to achieve at the same level as students in the regular program.
