On weekdays after school and on Saturdays, tutors(instructors) are stationed at the Iris Learning Center in the second school building to support students’ self-study. The tutors(instructors) will coordinate with the school’s classes and distribute assignments according to the progress of the class. AI analyzes answers and allows individualized learning to supplement each student’s weaknesses. We also provide remediation for English and mathematics.
We provide mandatory extra lessons for 4 days during summer vacation and throughout 3 months. The extra lessons compensate for any shortages in the classes. In supplementary lectures, we provide more than 80 courses. And we are also promoting challenging content for motivated students. More than 2000 students are taking these classes now. We offer them summer vacation, early morning sessions, and after school. Also, on Tuesday and Wednesday after school, we are providing reinforcement of class content in mandatory extra lessons, which are to enhance student’s academic ability, and provide the option to request supplementary lectures.
“Saturday Seminars” not only develop students’ studying abilities, but also strengthen and reinforce material. Each class is 70 minutes. Also, the class is open to anyone who wants to take it and we offer them about 20 times a year, every Saturday morning. 7th grade through 10th grade students can take English and mathematics lessons, and 11th grade and 12th grade students can take a preparation class for the national achievement test for universities. Students can find and overcome their weaknesses in regards to studying.
Use the blessings which we were given by God to raise people that live with a mission. Acquire the strength to live through basic learning. Think from a broad global perspective, and acquire the strength to act. Cultivate twenty-first century leadership and followership.
The day at Aoyama Gakuin Yokohama Eiwa High School begins with a quiet service. There is time in the morning for students to connect with God and reflect on their way of life. This is an important time to realize the truth “I was created and am loved by God. I am important and nobody can take my place.”
We have a service to read the Bible, to sing hymns, and to listen to a Bible lecture. On busy days, the time to reflect silently through the Bible is the best luxury. The treasure of words which accumulates in our minds becomes the foundation of courage to stand up again when we go out into the world and face challenges after we graduate from school.

There is a bible class once a week. Seventh graders learn an introduction to Christianity. From eighth grade to eleventh grade students learn the Bible in more detail. In the second half of eleventh grade, we learn about war and peace, the problem of life, human rights and women’s way of life through Christian ethics. This time focuses on expanding knowledge with audio- visual aids, presentation in groups, and exchanging opinions.
Each grade goes on a retreat. It is three days and two nights . We leave our school, listen to lectures based on the Bible, and hold discussions. It is the best chance to deepen the ties with classmates and support the sense of self-reliance. Ninth and tenth graders go out to an institution for disabled and elderly people. We learn the meaning of “living with your neighbor” through these experiences.
