“There are many other international schools, but Discovery’s size is just right, and it offers opportunities to learn various things. I highly recommend it! Thank you to all the teachers!”

Parent of Toddlers & Kinders 5

“Discovery International School is wonderful and was such a special part of our time living in Japan. We moved to Nagoya from the United States and our then 4 year old attended Discovery for 2 years before we returned home. She absolutely loved her time at Discovery. She learned so much, but even more importantly, she developed a true love for learning. We also enrolled our then 2 year old son in their Toddler program. He too thrived in Discovery’s safe, loving and fun learning environment.”

Parent of Kindergarten Graduate (Now a Grads Student)

“The three years at Discovery were very fulfilling. The teachers were all dedicated to nurturing the children’s interests and curiosities, and because the classes were small, they were able to pay attention to even the smallest details, which gave us peace of mind. The staff and teachers believed in the children and supported them wholeheartedly, which I think helped my shy daughter to develop her individuality. Now that my child is attending a public elementary school, I truly appreciate the importance of being exposed to English every day.”

Parent of Saturday School Student

“Since learning the alphabet at Discovery’s Saturday School, my child has started reading and pointing out English letters they find at home and around town. The time at the end of each class when the children present in front of everyone is great!!! I think it’s a very valuable experience. My child has also become more confident in expressing their feelings, even when eating out or at his Japanese school.”

“I think the charm of Discovery lies not only in the all-English environment but also in the daily activities. Play that engages the five senses, seasonal activities, and outdoor play with equipment that is good for balancing and core strength are all appealing.

Additionally, communication between teachers and children builds relationships that help to continuously improve the environment for the children. Not only do they use communication notebooks, but sharing photos every day also helps us understand our child’s daily activities, which we appreciate very much.”
