Global Leap International School Begins Enrollment for 2-Year-Old Class
The much-anticipated Global Leap International School, set to open in Toyosu in 2026, has officially started accepting applications for its 2-year-old class slated for the 2027 academic year. This educational establishment focuses on nurturing young minds in a global context, embracing curiosity and an innate love for learning.
Early Childhood Development at Global Leap
At the age of two, children exhibit an extraordinary capacity for language absorption. By engaging in play and exploration, they develop critical skills during these formative years. Global Leap International School aims to facilitate this natural learning process by integrating English into daily activities rather than treating it as a separate subject to study. The school's mission is to foster a sense of inquiry by encouraging questions like “Why?” and “Can I try?”—establishing a foundation for lifelong learning.
