NUCB International College Invites Participants to the “2023 Summer School” ~Experience Dormitory Life in this Residential English Immersion Programme!~

2023/03/08 Wed #press_release

NUCB International College (NIC), a boarding school in Nisshin City, Aichi, will host its “Summer School” during the Japanese summer vacation period. Participants can experience dormitory life whilst undertaking studies in English. The programme is open to junior high school students aged between 13 and 15 years. It will run from Saturday, July 22nd to Sunday, July 30th; 9 days and 8 nights in total.

NIC, which officially opened in September 2022, has held a Summer School program three times thus far, with a total of over 150 junior high school students from both Japan and abroad participating. Many participants have gone to enrol to study at NIC following positive experiences at Summer School. Thus, this programme is a good opportunity for junior high school students who are considering where to go for their higher education, and those interested in experiencing boarding school life.

Since English is the official language of the curriculum at NIC, English is also the primary language used throughout the Summer School in both lessons and communication. Through the use of the Harvard-style Case Method and the International Baccalaureate (IB) style of inquiry-based learning, both hallmarks of the teaching and learning methods at NIC, this program aims to build up the skills necessary for the next generation of global leaders; such as problem-solving, critical inquiry and analysis, design thinking and communication.

All participants will stay in the Boarding House, on campus, during the programme. Every day after dinner, various activities will be held with the assistance of our House supervisors, to encourage and deepen friendships and bonds among students. These nine days spent together will undoubtedly be a memorable experience of a lifetime for participants. For more information on this event and how to apply, please refer to NUCB International College’s website.

Aiming to nurture future world-class leaders, NIC provides an environment where students from diverse backgrounds, both from Japan and abroad, can learn and coexist together. The school has been approved by the Aichi Prefecture and received its official accreditation as an IB World School on December 12, 2022; making it the first international boarding school in the Tokai region and one of the few IB Diploma Programme schools in Japan.
