Kid (Up to 12) English Classes
Class Types
English Playroom The English Playroom is just what the name implies. It's a place for kids to play and have a great time while they are in constant contact with the English language, and foreign teachers. In some cases, there may also be foreign kids in the group. It's a wonderful opportunity for the kids to experience international relationships, become familiar with English, and begin to develop their skills at both. |
Fona Group Classes Fona group classes are group classes for which Fona has set the schedules and skill levels. Students join a group that fits them, considering not only their skill level but also their ages. |
Private Classes Private classes can be actual private lessons for 1 of your children alone, or classes with multiple of your children, or even including their friends. The lessons can focus on English itself, test preparation, or whatever you want. |

Benefits of Starting Young
Childhood is filled with wonder and excitement for everything that is new, and of course everything is new in childhood.
By starting to learn English in a fun way during that time when everything is still fun in the first place, children learn to enjoy English at the same time that they are learning English itself!
In the lessons, we teach kids things that they can use in their daily lives even living in Japan. We also give them simple things they can practice at home between lessons.
At Fona School, we naturally teach phonics. More importantly, we teach everything with games, music, and other movements to draw and keep the kids' attention. At Fona, kids really learn English.
Furthermore, we do not simply teach English at Fona. Through the lessons and total curriculum we have developed, we also help the kids to develop as people!
