Bilingual preschool
Cosmo Global Kids
From an early age our program encompasses care and global education,
supporting the students to develop with a wider perspective and better outlook on the world.
As the students grow and develop in mind and body, we teach them to improve both.
Our program helps create 'Real Global Kids' through having the students focus on the roots of education
and develop an interest in the world around them.
"Global" does not mean just the "English language" but also cultures and mindset. Real experiences to help broaden and enlighten the student's perspective.
Our educational program creates and nurtures a wide variety of values.
It allows our students to develop an indispensable set of skills in order to live a happy and prosperous life in our global society, that includes early English language education as well as global cultural education to help them better interact with others. Japanese educational style alone is missing some aspects but our program takes the great parts of Japanese education, developing autonomy and independence as well as group coordination and social cooperation. It adds in Western cultural ideas of active learning and individual creative thought.
Through our three core systems of "Bilingual education", "Multicultural studies" and "Active learning", we cultivate the students to expand their possibilities of their future by drawing out their natural abilities and individual personality, and then further expand their possibilities for "diversity, and tolerance of diversity", while nurturing them to become "cosmopolitans" in a true sense.
Bilingual education
We conduct English immersion education at an early age. The education model is bilingual and aims to increase thinking abilities in concert with Japanese intellectual training program. Generally speaking, the Japanese requires 2,000 to 4,000 hours of learning time to master English, but this program goes over 4,500 hours (3 years).
Multicultural studies
Each month, we learn about various countries' culture, practices, events, food, etc. This education about diversity helps children move beyond their own world by providing them with an entry into a much bigger and more diverse world. This also contributes to their moral education as they become more open-minded, tolerant of generosity and compassionate hearts for diversity.
Active learning
Through interactive activities, rather than traditional Japanese passive type learning, we respect children's ideas, expressions and actions. And all the while helping them to increase their independence, individuality, creativity and expressiveness without limiting their growth and possibilities for the future.
Fulfilling Childcare/Education program
CGK offers full-time care 5 days a week from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm.
(Extended care is also available 7:30 am - 7:00 pm)
There are no short-time courses or courses for selective days.
In this way, not only English education can be conducted
but also a fulfilling curriculum and program.
Our specialty is offering education that is high in quality and quantity.
Pygmalion Method that develops ability of thinking
Produce a lot to one of the nation's smartest middle schools - Nada junior high school
CGK has introduced the Pygmalion method that has been making a great achievement in Kansai area for the first time in Japan as international preschool.
Fostering "ability of thinking" and "ability of solving a problem"
As a result of advent of IT and AI, education only with acquiring knowledge and skill does not have a meaning. The Pygmalion offers not "cramming style" which is passive education but stimulates "hand ability", "spatial ability", "shape ability", "mathematical and logical ability" and "language ability" to enhance "thinking ability".
Premier Intellectual Training for Children in their Precious Early Years
To develop a high ability, the days of early childhood are the best when almost all parts of brain is made. Whereas if it is not developed in these days by correct details and correct method, "low ability" such as simply memorize information and skills will unfortunately be stunted from the beginning.
Global education and childcare that supports sound growth in body and mind.
"Preschool" does not just mean 'English education' but also childcare, a sense of safety, mental health, and physical growth. These are aspects we value highly.
We have bilingual Japanese licensed staff who are familiar with the growth stages of children and work with our native English teachers to make sure the children's minds grow and develop as well as their language which is all part of our school's philosophy.
We help children freely develop and support their progress while doing our best to meet their needs, with face to face interaction, at their level.
Symbiosis of the mind
We value the relationship of every child and help to foster a heart of symbiosis with in our school community.
We are aware of small changes in the children, help children grow, and gently nurture their development.
Heart and caring
We will nurture a rich sense of life from various experiences and new discoveries.
Life in our school helps develop, relationships with friends, cultivates team cooperativeness and social interaction as well as cultivates a heart of compassion.
Challenger's mindset
We foster a heart that encourages the unlimited possibilities of children, advances curiosity, and dares to try new things.
With this, they will develop into strong leaders for the future.

Welcome to CGK!
For educational breakthroughs
In our world of globalization, when people are told the word "global", for Japanese people, it sometimes brings up ideas of "language (English)", but for us, it is about education. At Cosmo Global Kids (CGK), it is not just a language education but rather we will conduct a more comprehensive "global education".
Within 10 to 20 years it is said that about half of the current work will be AIized (automated by machines), and even in the future global society, if you only acquire the specific skill of "language (English)" it is considered insufficient.
At CGK, the students acquire a wide range of "multicultural learning and experiences", knowing about our diverse world (places which have different ideas from Japan), at the same time, to nurture a spirit of inquiry will help them to learn and challenge by "active learning".
We aim to nurture the global skills necessary for life-long growth and development for not only during their stay at CGK, but also for their future in our global world.
