What an International School in Tokyo Japan is like

An English International school in Tokyo’s Shibuya area, called OLIVE TREE, located right next to Yoyogi Park, and she kindly invited Wolfy for a one-day trial. Maiko and I are considering international school as a future option for Wolfy so this was a perfect opportunity to see how it goes. Up until now, his Nursery has been strictly in Japanese so it will be interesting to see how he handles a day in English.

    He is growing so fast, time flies Edit: I love that the main teacher seems so passionate and happy about his job, that is wonderful as a role model for kids!
  • @PugZeke
    The male educator is amazingly enthusiastic good school
  • @LancerX916
    The lead singer of the Japanese rock band Coldrain is also like Wolfie, half Japanese, half American. His mother who is a teacher made him and his brother learn English as a kid. He said growing up he hated it, but now that he is an adult, he is glad his mother made him learn. He said he had way more advantages, knowing both languages and cultures. I have a feeling your son will feel the same way.
  • @Jae..9..
    I think Wolfy would definitely benefit from this type of environment. He would thrive and end up loving it.
  • @karmaoutlaw
    Wow! As a former early childhood educator, this school looks fantastic!
  • I went to ISSH in Tokyo…7-12 grade….best education and experience of my life! I had 50 classmates my senior year and 23 different nationalities…we still have reunions and we’re 63 years old! Just had a mini reunion in NYC a few weeks ago….laughed for 4 days straight😂
  • @seaweebjoc
    I resonate with wolfy after his nap. I too wake up, realize I'm awake, and bust into tears 😂
  • @JoeyBonzo
    I went to an international school from grade 4 to 6! I found it to be a really wonderful experience because of not only the oppurtunities I would not have gotten from a public school but also the access to the various cultures, nationalities and ethnicities was wonderful as well.
  • Wolfie looking like a cat trying to avoid the water in a bathtub (when Paolo was trying to get him down for his nap)😂. This looks like an amazing school, what a fun environment❤.
  • @lz738
    I teach preschool in the US and that school seemed very similar. And Wolfy's reaction was very typical too.
  • wolfy is adorable 🥺 i’m so glad he was able to enjoy himself and warm up to the other kids!
  • @selenazc
    Yea this is more like a American school for sure! I love they go outside all the time!
  • I think Wolfy would do better without his parents there. It very good to learn and use both languages.
  • to be fair, he should be exposed to both cultures. I'm the child of two different country parents. I grew up in one of my parents native country. My parents sent me to school of my other parents heritage and culture. It made me feel that belong to both cultures.
  • @photogsherry
    OH, this made me think of my days teaching Kindergarten! I would LOVE to run an International School for littles. So sweet! This is very similar to how I taught my Ks. People thought I was nuts with what I taught them but, heck, little kids learn a LOT more than you think!!! Normal-size hammers and nails? Yep, we pounded. Cooking? Got it. Sewing? Of course? Science? TONS (we even were winners in an Animal Planet contest).
  • @MzzzNettie
    I taught preschool for many years here in the States, and it's fun to see the similarities between this school and ours.
  • I am a Pre-Kindergarten teacher in San Diego and have a daughter like Wolfy's age. Love this video, Paolo! Great work! Wolfy did amazing on his first time in an international school! The teachers are amazing! Keep up with more videos!
  • wolfie is growing so fast and so great to see he actually opens up
  • @Athlynne
    Wolfy marches to the beat of his own drummer and does things in his own time, you gotta respect that. He's growing up so fast! And somehow becoming even more charming as time passes!
