| Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
Okinawa AMICUS International provides a rich learning environment that helps develop in our young people a global mind-set. It employs a holistic approach to nurture our learners to be creative thinkers (THINK), independent learners (LEARN) and risk takers (ACT). |
| Teaching approach of the school |
One needs to learn to become independent. Learning gives knowledge, and based on this knowledge, children develop their own worldview. With rich, accurate knowledge, a child’s worldview will likely be broader and more universal. AMICUS will guide children to a significant understanding of people and phenomena. Education at AMICUS aims to equip children with depth and breadth of knowledge, fostering the development of clever, healthy, self-sufficient children. |
