*Ecole Internationale Franco-Japonaise is a candidate school** for the PYP. This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. IB World Schools share a common philosophy- a commitment to high-quality, challenging, international education- that we believe is important for our students.
**Only schools authorized by the IB Organization can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme (DP), or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes visit http://www.ibo.org.

We are proud to provide a unique educational experience to both returning Japanese students and expatriates that develops students to be multilingual, internationally minded 21st Century model citizens. Our world class, award winning facilities on a spacious campus coupled with richly resourced learning environments – including integrated technology – provide our staff and students every opportunity to achieve academic success in nurturing surroundings. Our students time and time again tell us how much they love coming to MIS and, upon their return, graduates repeatedly share their appreciation for the support and challenge that they were afforded here.

Our school is a double diploma program, where students who graduate will receive both a Japanese and Alberta high-school diploma.

Established in 2015, Bunka Suginami Canadian International School has provided BC curriculum for the students who enrolls into the Double-Diploma Course at Bunka Gakuen University Suginami High School. BC Education is known as one of the best in the world and British Columbia's Grade 10 students earned top-spot for reading, second in science and sixth in math globally.

We are multiage and dual language by design, and we are free from the rigidity and standardization of the age-grade system. Our students are remarkably engaged as we provide a multitude of resources and a positive ethos that is hard to duplicate in traditional school settings. *Mastery* motivation is usual, as we do not make children feel good or bad by virtue of their comparison with others, instead respecting their readiness and timing for learning. The style largely breaks the so-called *cycle of predictability" as the children experience being younger or older, more proficient or less proficient, over time, in their classes. They develop social, communication, and presentation skills as well as academic skills as an inherent part of their school experience. Whereas one of the classroom teachers may communicate and *teach* in English and the other in Japanese, the children are welcome and encouraged to use and develop all of their language proficiencies. We view them all as emerging bilinguals or multilinguals. This is a *translanguaging* context-based approach as opposed to a fundamentally monolingual rule-oriented approach to language acquisition and use. Parents are advised to check the mission on our website, as it does describe what we do, and to attend an orientation and tour as part of the application process.

Our Core Values are based around the three Cs: Cnsideration, Critical Thinking, and Creativity. Teachers in all subjects work to incorporate these values into their teaching styles.
