Learning of Tomorrow [Announcement] “Students Who Have Stopped Attending School Roam All Over Japan with ‘Traveling Campus’! — Class Japan Elementary and Junior High School” We are pleased to welcome Mr. Takeshi Nakajima, representative of Class Japan Elementary and Junior High School, to our online symposium on Thursday, December 2.
Celebrating its second anniversary this year, Class Japan Elementary and Middle School is an online school that provides an optimal learning environment for children who are not attending school. In accordance with guidelines from the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, we collaborate with schools to support home-based learning, so students can be marked present even while absent from school.
Mr. Nakajima, who says that the time spent away from school is an opportunity to discover what works best for you and develop your own methods, will introduce the school’s initiatives—starting with “Traveling Campus,” a new learning program launched this past July in collaboration with local governments.
We hope you'll join us.
