Preparing Learners for Higher Education
As learners transition from the primary years into the junior secondary level, they enter a new phase of learning full of excitement and newness. They explore new concepts and develop new interests. We, at OWIS Tsukuba, understand this transitional phase and adopt practices that help students identify their strengths, weaknesses and special talents that can be nurtured further for a flying career ahead.
