Joel Jr Llaban, the Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Justice for International Schools Services recently facilitated workshops with the School Leadership Team, the Board of Directors, staff, faculty, students, teacher leaders, and parents in exploring how to lead for instilling DEIJ in the YIS community.
 

One of the core components of our Impact Strategy, created based upon our understanding of student growth and development and preparedness for life, has to do with building a sense of autonomy for our students.

Parents are invited to this parent session on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice to learn about the growing importance of this topic and our approach and commitment to creating belonging for all students. 

Why do we feel the need to tell stories? How do our stories define us? Shape us? Communicate to others? These are the questions that the High School Drama Club has been exploring as they undertake this year's musical, Once on This Island.

We are delighted to invite alumni, former students, parents of alumni/former students, and former staff to join us at an informal get-together with fellow Dragons in Yokohama.

As one of Japan's largest municipalities, the city of Yokohama has an Action Plan for Global Warming Countermeasures. The city's goal is to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, and schools play a vital role in achieving this goal.
