Our Mission and Concept

​Parenthood is a precious gift ​with a limited time to appreciate our children's youth. Our mission is to support children's positive identity development, so they can be themselves in a diverse world of various cultural values. We also support parents and teachers who are working for their children's joyful and bright future.


​
Parents/Teachers
  1. Understanding your own cultural background
  2. Understanding characteristics of your child/student
  3. Exploring new things with your child/student
  4. Creating the better educational environment for your child/student and your whole family/class.

Children
  • Children can gain their self-understanding and self-confidence, broaden their horizons, and choose their own way to live true to themselves.
