Sumaura Elementary School - Kobe

Good elementary school

You can't cry. I'm here.

Education at Sumaura Gakuen is based on "a good balance of physical education, virtue education, and intellectual education." Based on this basic policy, we are carefully nurturing a high-quality humanity that can be called the "Sumaura spirit" that supports the lives of children. No matter how good you are, you cannot contribute to society unless you are healthy. Body building is the basis of everything. At this school, we have a special physical education course, which is rare in elementary schools, and we are focusing on "physical education". That is why Hyogo Prefecture's private school is the only private school that offers homemade warm and complete meals. We are also striving for "Tokuiku" in order to acquire the "mental power" to survive in modern society. Basic lifestyle, compassion, independence, sense of responsibility, public mind, concentration, patience, positivity, inspiring mind, communication skills. These are indispensable abilities to play an active role in the international community. It is important to wear it firmly in the age of boys and girls. In "intellectual education," we have been working on English and computers from an early stage, and we are thoroughly providing individual guidance unique to small-group education. We value each person's dreams and individuality, and try to give guidance that considers the future course. The school lesson enacted in 1918 embodies the ideal of "body, virtue, and wisdom," which emphasizes physical development, and is still inherited as the basic spirit of education. In 1902, when Japan was making hard efforts to catch up with the developed countries of Europe and the United States, seven leaders in the education and political and business world in Kobe (Shohei Hirose, Shoichi Kawakami, Kawasaki) became keenly aware of the importance of children's education. Yoshitaro, Tashiro Tanaka, Yukiyasu Narutaki, Mataemon Shibakawa, Mitsumasa Hirose) founded Sumaura Normal Elementary School with the aim of ideal childhood education. From that point on, the history of our school began. At the time when "knowledge, virtue, and body" was the national policy that puts the acquisition of knowledge first, the educational policy of "body, virtue, and knowledge" that emphasized body building was epoch-making. It is also called a "villa school" because of its good environment surrounded by green mountains and the blue sea, and has been famous as a "special elementary school" with its own educational policy since the Meiji era. Such children! "Children who can listen to the teacher's story" "Children who can listen to friends' announcements" "Children who can say their thoughts properly" "Children who can do their own thing" "Children who have the courage to endure" I will.

A private elementary school where children who will take the junior high school exam in the future go. Many of the students here don't sit at all even if the seats are vacant on the train, but I usually want them to sit in danger.
