“Think for yourself, master AI, and stand alongside the world. YES is the school that raises children who can do exactly that.”

The 3 C’s at YES

  • Consideration

    Consideration

    Respecting different perspectives and backgrounds — learning and living alongside others.

  • Critical Thinking

    Critical Thinking

    Not accepting given answers — asking your own questions and thinking them all the way through.

  • Creativity

    Creativity

    Turning ideas into reality — and using them to make a difference in the world.

The YES Method The YES Method: Three Approaches to Deeper Learning

Trilingual Education

01.
Trilingual Education

Learn language. Shape thinking. Move the world.
At YES, trilingual education is not about learning English, Japanese, and programming simply to speak or write them. It is about understanding the distinct mode of thinking that each language offers — and developing the ability to see the world from multiple perspectives.

02.Technology That Opens the Mind

02.
Technology That Opens the Mind

In an age when AI can generate countless answers, the most valuable human skill is knowing how to ask the right questions.
At YES, we don’t teach children to be used by technology — we teach them to use it with intention, and to stand on the side that provides the questions.

03.A Real English Environment

03.
A Real English Environment

Not learning English. Living in English.
At YES, English is not a subject for tests or a skill to be perfected. It is a living language — one used to connect with people and with the wider world. English is not reserved for special lessons. It exists naturally in the daily life of the school.

The Environment That Supports Learning

A Campus Built with Wood

A Campus Built with Wood

Where the body feels safe, the mind opens freely.
YES’s campus is built around the warmth of natural wood.

Food That Nourishes

Food That Nourishes

Because eating is living.
The food served at YES is a meaningful part of each child’s learning and growth. Every element — ingredients, seasonings, even the water — is chosen with care. The gut and brain are deeply connected: a healthy gut supports focus, immunity, and emotional balance.

YES is not the right school for every family — and we mean that sincerely. That is precisely why we hope you will take the time to explore, ask questions, and discover together with us whether this is truly the right place for your child. We look forward to hearing from you.

【Music Class 🎵】
まずは、音楽を楽しむこと!
YES小田原校のMusic Classでは、
一人ひとりの個性を大切にしながら、
自分らしく表現することを大切にしています🌱

音楽を聴いて感じることも、表現の仕方も、一人ひとり違います。
自分が感じたことを、声や身体の動きで自由に表現する🎵
その楽しさを、授業の中で味わっていきます!✨

Music is meant to be enjoyed! 🎶✨
At YES Odawara, our Music Class is all about having fun, 
being yourself, and expressing what you feel. 🌱

Every student experiences music differently
—and that’s what makes it so special!

Listen to the music. Feel the rhythm. 
Move your body. Use your voice. 🎵

There’s no single “right” way to express yourself. 
We want our students to explore, create, 
and discover the joy of music in their own unique way! 💫
