The OYIS Intensive Program has a cross-disciplinary focused approach, throughout the course each day. Our intensive program is a stand-alone week-long program of fun, theme-based curriculum to engage the children collaboratively with their peers. This particular approach lends itself to an enjoyable atmosphere with less of an emphasis on the academic elements of learning.
This winter, our winter school has a brand new curriculum to engage and support student learning.
Week 1 focuses on History in it’s 5 day program with Week 2 being the Future as the overarching theme for the 3 day program.
The immersive English environment provides students with the opportunity for hands-on learning, activities that build confidence and the chance to engage in a variety of projects in the morning and afternoon sessions.
With our immersive English environment, we encourage and develop the students speaking and listening skills, while also supporting literacy and comprehension development. Spend your Spring break with us speaking English and making new friends!

As part of STEM Week within the Winter Intensive Program in December 2020, our students planned out and created their own Stop Motion animations. They did an amazing job and we are really proud of their efforts! Check out their fantastic videos here.
During the year we hold one Excursion as part of the intensive programs. Having the children participate in an excursion where they have the opportunity to learn English enables them to be able to use the language they have developed and practiced over the course of the year.
The Takahashi Family
Intensive Parent
Our son went to YMCA for the first time for their last Intensive [the Spring Intensive in 2021] and the staff warmly welcomed him. The staff understood his feelings and personality well and as a result, were able to respond to his anxieties and desires.
The Curriculum
The Themes of the Spring Intensive were Fairy Tales and Insects. He made crafts and did activities related to dragons, crowns, magic wands, and insects every day and was able to explain happily and proudly what each of his creations were. From what he produced, I felt the curriculum focused on a number of different types of skills. I felt that the staff must have thought about so many different things when they created the curriculum.
Also, having looked at a number of programs and schools, no other program has the inclusion of an excursion using the school bus. My son emptied his lunch box and slept soundly every night. He had so much fun! I was very happy to see his happy sleeping face each night.
I was also impressed by the staff’s attention to detail. For example, changing his dirty clothes and shoes. Although, it’s a trivial matter, it is the sort of thing that is important to parents. I felt they were watching the child with great care to notice it. I also felt I could leave my son with no worries.
In addition, after the first week, my son’s English proficiency improved surprisingly. I was very surprised, “In just four days?” “Where did you remember such a phrase?” I wasn’t the only one to notice the change either. Even his grandparents were delighted to notice his growth in English. After the second week, his proportion of speaking English at home increased dramatically.
The OYIS Spring Intensive had a consistently wonderful curriculum that helped children develop their English proficiency, artistic skills, overall general knowledge, and their communication skills. All the Teachers and Assistants are professionals and the school is full of warm and friendly staff.

Saturday & Intensive Parent
We decided on the OYIS Intensive Program and their Saturday Program to help support our son in being a person with an international perspective, to give him a range of choices in his life, and increase the chance of a range of experiences in the future. Since he started with the OYIS External Programs, his English pronunciation has been improving, he has become to be able to speak in longer sentences, and is now more able to communicate in either English or Japanese depending on the situation. My son enjoys not only the lesson based on the workbooks but also the more active part of the day where he is learning such as Art & Craft, Music, and P.E.
We have seen the development, not only in his language output but also his general demeanor and spirit as he now shows more of a positive attitude and tries to be more kind with caring to people around him every day – which amazes us. We appreciate the warmth, kindness, and support of his teachers who are always friendly and gentle.
