Greetings

Greetings
I am delighted to welcome you to Horizon Sendai, where we believe that education is a lifelong commitment. At our core, we are a community of educators and learners who are deeply dedicated to the well-being and success of every student – uniting us with a passion for lifelong learning. We strive to have our students develop strong academic skills, language skills in both Japanese and English, information handling skills, and an appreciation of their own identity as well as understanding and respect for other cultures.
Building upon this foundation, at Horizon Sendai, we are proud to have a community of learners who can ask and answer questions and know the value of lifelong learning. We aim to develop thinking skills, creative skills, and presentation skills which are essential for our children's current and future success. To achieve this, we are offering a world-renowned inquiry-based approach by implementing the Primary Years Programme (PYP) of the International Baccalaureate (IB). Through this program, our students engage in inquiry-based learning, fostering their curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving abilities.
By nurturing these skills, it is our belief that our students will grow into the global citizens and leaders of tomorrow who will help make the world a better place, while each of them flourish as individuals.
