Principal's Representative Asuka Tsuzuki Graduate of Linden Hall School(USA) Tokyo University Graduate School. 　 Special Adviser Reona Ezaki Nobel Laureate in Physics 　 The question of how to nurture the individual in each student is an extremely important theme in education amid internationalisation and the information age, and henceforth for Japan the cultivation of globally-minded people who can use English freely on an international stage is essential. In order to work towards that goal, we opened in April of 2004 Linden Hall Elementary School, in Dazaifu in Fukuoka Prefecture. We wish to provide a top class education, fitted to the needs of the world in the 21st century, which takes a broad view of the self and extends the abilities and individuality of each student. Beginning with the adoption of English immersion education, through development of IT and presentation skills, and in experiencing at first hand Japanese culture, we have a highly original curriculum that respects the dreams and individuality of each student. We will strive to refine studentsﾕ special qualities as Japanese while at the same time providing with our outstanding foreign staff an international educational environment, and we seek to be a school that builds childrenﾕs independence and individuality. We are an immersion school that aims for an education not for passing outmoded university entrance exams, but that enhances and extends individuality, creativity and the ability to communicate, essential skills for a globally active person. In order to further extend the individuality and abilities cultivated at elementary school, we have in our sights the establishment of junior and senior high school divisions. ﾒExtend their individuality, give them confidence, and send them forth into the worldﾓ This is our dream and our lifeﾕs work. The school grounds cover an area of 20,000m2. Within this space are all-grass playing areas, the school building, with all the latest facilities and equipment, and features such as an athletic zone that makes use of the topography of the natural woods, a watermill, rice paddy, field, tea house, pottery kiln and workshop, and a biotope. It is an educational environment where learning takes place through first-hand experience, and is not confined to the top of a desk. Linden Hall is also a declared CO2 reduction school. Viewed from outside, the novel design of the glass-panelled building in the shape of a linden leaf. Inside, a welcoming space in which the wood of the linden tree is used liberally throughout. The design has been made putting the children first. ● Safety…It is not merely the light aspect that prompted the use of glass throughout, but also, with importance attached to security, consideration was given to a building where the children could be watched over from anywhere. ● Comfort…A huge reduction in UV. Special double-glazed glass has been used that prevents condensation and has outstanding noise-proofing. The air-conditioning system is fully capable of heating or cooling the school. ● Environment…Winner of Urban Beautification Award from Fukuoka Prefecture.
