WHY AXIS INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL?

Our Preschool students speak English within months of starting if that is not their home language. ESL students are at their grade level within 2 years of starting with us. All our Japanese students are Japanese/English bilingual.

Our Grade 3 – 11 students take the Stanford Standardized test every March at the end of their academic year. This year, 22% of students had above average scores for their grade level. Notable achievements were in Science(44% of students) and Math(56% of students) Our most recent High School class’ average SAT score was 1340 with a GPA of 3.89 on a 4.0 scale.

The Griggs program that we are affiliated with, also boasts excellent success. 60% of the graduating class go to the best 50 universities in the world.

The low student-to-teacher ratio of 1 teacher to 8 students at Axis International, facilitates a personal interaction that fosters academic growth, critical thinking skills, and character development.

Benefits

FUN CURRICULUM

Students from the age of 1 to 18 experience stimulating field trips, engaging experiments and an informative curriculum in English under the instruction of qualified, experienced and native English-speaking teachers. For the more adventurous, we also have an overseas trip.

SMALL CLASSES

With a maximum of 8 students in a class, there are many opportunities for students to ask their questions that they have; to get the answers that they need and to change our world into a better place. The small classes also ensure that no one is lost in the crowd, but participates in every activity to maximize the learning experience.

SKILL LEVEL ASSESSMENT

All new students are assessed to determine their English ability. From Grade 4, all students take an annual standardized test to independently determine how strong their academic performance is. Based on the tests, appropriate advice will be given to allow each of our students to achieve the best that they can.

FULL ACADEMIC CURRICULUM

Our students study Bible, Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Grammar, Spelling), Math, Science, and Social Studies courses in English. The optional overseas trip is educational in nature and includes visits to such places as Washington D.C., The Kennedy Space Center, Chocolate Factory, The Smithsonian Museums and EPCOT.

Programs

Once again, thank you for your offer and kindness. It has given us assurance that we are not entrusting our children to teachers who will only educate them academically but to wonderful people who will educate and challenge them as a whole person (mentally, morally and spiritually).

M within this week has received offers for two excellent Canadian universities (Victoria and UBC). I must say, it is even better than I even dreamt off. This makes us proud but with the due realization that your efforts have been a crucial contribution and played a big role. Thanks so much and I hope it gives you even more confidence to inspire the best in your students and endeavors.
