Global Village International Preschool

Global Village International Preschool is one of the most recognizable names in early international education in the Fukuoka region. With multiple campuses including Dazaifu and Itoshima, it serves a large number of families seeking a head start in English language education. The school's mission is to provide an environment where children can become 'Global Citizens' through immersion in a second language and exposure to various cultures.

The curriculum is holistic, covering early literacy, numeracy, and physical education, all delivered in English. Global Village is known for its energetic teaching style and its inclusion of diverse extra-curricular activities such as dance, gymnastics, and seasonal camps. The school uses a thematic approach to learning, which keeps the curriculum engaging and relevant for young children.

While primarily a preschool and kindergarten, Global Village has a significant impact on the Fukuoka international scene by feeding students into the larger international elementary programs. It is particularly noted for its strong support for working parents, offering extended daycare services and bus transportation for its students.
