Ladies and gentlemen, we are in the home stretch.\u00a0 In just a few short weeks, ISN Middle School will be back in action!\u00a0 I hope you have enjoyed following along with the development of the PIC, the Project-based, Inquiry-based, Concept-based Program.\u00a0 It has been my pleasure to share the updates with you throughout the year, but I will be passing the baton on to the head of our Middle School program, Mr. Igor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For those of you just joining us, a quick summary of what we\u2019ve made:\u00a0 our IB-based Middle School program, the PIC Program, will cover school years 6-9.\u00a0 We have designed a bilingual syllabus built around taking advantage of the stunning nature of the Shinshu area along with the strength and opportunities provided by local businesses.\u00a0 We are excited to show you what we\u2019ll be doing, and if you\u2019d like more information please check out our earlier entries in this blog or our website here<\/a>!

Speaking of those local businesses, last month I talked in general about our plans to work with local businesses to integrate entrepreneurial opportunities into our syllabus.\u00a0 This month, I would like to specifically announce our first official partnership!

For the first six months of the upcoming school year, our students will have the opportunity to work alongside Storyhouse Cafe in Matsumoto.\u00a0 They will learn about the hospitality industry, running a cafe, and try their hand at creating their own offerings for the store.\u00a0 We are thrilled at this opportunity for our students!

We do not want the amazing things our students will be doing to be done in a vacuum.\u00a0 We hope for everyone to see the shining future these students are starting to build.\u00a0 To that end, there will be Open Campus days where we hope everyone interested can come get a glimpse of that future and the students who will be building it.\u00a0 Please come visit us on the following dates:\u00a0 June 6, June 13, and August 27.

This may be goodbye from me in terms of writing for you on this blog, but we are saying hello to a new era for the students of ISN.\u00a0 We will have many more things in the future to share with you about what the students and staff of the ISN MS Program are accomplishing, so we hope you will continue to follow and support us.

From all of us here at ISN Gojo Campus, thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
