Raising EQ and IQ

Makoto Shichida, our founder, strongly believed that education should not solely focus on knowledge. He emphasised that each child is born with a purpose, aiming to utilise their unique abilities for positive contributions to society. Furthermore, he believed that nurturing children to their fullest potential would shape them into future leaders capable of solving global issues. This approach, emphasising purpose-driven education, aligns with Shichida’s vision for creating future problem-solving leaders.

Engage the heart to engage the mind

At Shichida, our early learning program places equal emphasis on nurturing both EQ and IQ. Our philosophy revolves around engaging a child’s heart to stimulate their mind. To achieve this, we employ a diverse range of activities, songs, and games. These incorporate essential tasks like mindfulness exercises and collaborative work. Moreover, we strive to equip children with effective learning tools, enabling them to acquire, comprehend, and retain information. Simultaneously, we actively involve parents in their child’s learning journey. This approach encourages their active participation and guidance. By incorporating these strategies, we create a well-rounded educational experience for children.

Helping to develop well-rounded individuals

With these values, and years of research behind us, the Shichida Method ultimately intends to nurture your relationship with your child. Afterall, you are your child’s first and best teacher. Together, we can help your child develop into a well-rounded individual ready to successfully engage with their community and the world.
