Wednesday Club at OYIS: Midweek English Class in Osaka

Wednesday Club

Welcome to Wednesday Club, our brand-new midweek English class offered through the OYIS External Programs. We created this class for two main reasons:

More Study Opportunities
Some students feel that a single weekly class isn’t enough to reach their language goals. Wednesday Club provides an extra chance to study, helping you progress faster and achieve the level of English you want.
Flexible Scheduling
We know many learners can’t attend our Saturday classes because of other commitments. By offering a midweek option, we make it easier for everyone to join our English program without giving up weekend activities

Ready to boost your English skills? Join Wednesday Club and take advantage of extra learning time, a flexible schedule, and the support you need to reach your goals.

Why Study with OYIS?

Years of Experience: We have helped many students improve their English skills.
Always Improving: We look for new ideas and methods to make our lessons better.
Individual Attention: Every student is different, so we adapt our teaching to each child.
Supportive Classes: We believe students learn best when they feel safe, comfortable, and welcome.

FAQ

Why choose OYIS Saturday Class and what makes us different?

The OYIS Diploma will be accepted by some universities worldwide. Osaka YMCA International School is accredited by WASC, which assures a level of quality and ongoing improvement in the school.

Is OYIS selective about who can take the IBDP?

No, we welcome all students who are interested in pursuing the Diploma Programme to try.

Will all students take the IBDP?

We would love all students to pursue the challenge of the IB Diploma Programme, however, the academic rigor and self-management skills might not match every child’s development by Grade 11. Students are also required to meet a variety of entry requirements which might be a challenge for some students. We support our students in secondary school with academic advisors and counselors to help all of our students prepare for this challenge.

What is the benefit of being a Course candidate?

The courses in the IBDP are excellent preparation for university learning and allow students to take a deep dive into subject learning areas of interest. Students who want more flexibility in course selection and are not ready/interested in pursuing the IB Diploma Programme can benefit from enrolling in these challenging courses as a stepping stone to postgraduate education. All students who graduate from OYIS are supported to be ready for life’s challenges.

What advantages does the IBDP give students?

The academic rigor of the IBDP will prepare a student for entry into any university worldwide. It represents one of the most rigorous, valid, reliable and balanced wide-scale educational assessments available. The IBDP also provides an education that is broad and balanced, holistic in approach and develops students that are internationally minded.

How does OYIS develop the whole child for graduation?

Experiential learning adventures
