International Exchange ｜ Linden Hall Elementary School

Cultivating individuals capable of playing an active role on the global stage through international experiences during their formative years

Studying abroad and various forms of international exchange provide valuable opportunities for people to experience different values and ways of thinking and to develop new perspectives. Our school has adopted an “English immersion education” so they don't have to worry about the language at their overseas study destination. Experience that transcends language barriers and truly understands diversity fosters flexibility and a global perspective in human interaction.

We aim to develop individuals who can play an active role on the world stage by providing education to develop the individuality, imagination, and communication skills required of an international person during the six years of elementary school which are important for human development.
