The school was founded based on Principal’s long-term experience working with children and her belief that art type of education and creative types of programs are highly beneficial for the intellectual, emotional and developmental growth of the children.
A place where teachers love teaching and children love learning!
I believe that artmaking is an essential part of human existence. Art should be part of every single child’s life. Jolly Kids INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL provides the environment where children can create, experience art, gain many skills, become confident in decision making processes and think out of box. I really hope that each child who comes to JKIS feels happy, respected and loved. At JKIS each child is given a space to take learning into his or her own hands. He or she can create without any judgement or prejudices. Let’s enjoy the time being spent here together, process itself and a lot of experiences that no one will ever take from us!
Learning happens through
ART and PLAY.
Art and play are one of the 100 languages that help children express and communicate with others. Art teaches children how to solve problems, think creatively, and respect others.
Integrating art with other subjects creates deeper and more profound connections to the content area. It also sparks the student’s interest. More we incorporate activities like drawing, painting, movement, music and emotions the better children learn and better retain what they have learned.
JKIS offers rich educational and creative programs filled with Art and Play. We are Reggio Emilia and Montessori inspired school. We want our students to enjoy learning and take the actions into their own hands. We do not want to tell them what to think, but instead we want them to think and live creatively and imaginatively. We want our students to grow in safe, English speaking and an at-home environment that stimulates their growth and personality.Childhood happens only once so let’s enjoy it together!

Invitations to play and create with Loose Parts
Every single corner and empty space in the room has been carefully considered by teachers. Loose Parts have been added to those empty spaces and corners. Play with loose parts facilitates creative, imaginative and systematic thinking in problem solving. Loose Parts teach how to think out of the box.
Real life situations and experiences
The knowledge of our students is based on their own experience. Instead of telling them facts, we let them explore and experience things. We actively involve them in real life situations such as household work, shopping, cooking, taking care of themselves, communicating with others etc. We want to prepare them for life.
Individual attention
Our classes are mixed-age. Our students learn in very small groups. Learning in small groups provides the foundation of strong relationships. Our students are getting 100% attention, love and care.

WHAT DO PARENTS WANT TO SAY ABOUT JKIS
2歳から息子が通っています。レッジョエミリア教育とモンテッソーリ教育を取り入れた学校ということで興味を惹かれました。英語を言語として習うのではなく、体験を通して英語に触れてほしいという気持ちがあり、ジョリーキッズはまさにその経験をさせてくれる学校でした。
Ivica先生は経験豊富で、優しく、人として信頼できる先生です。そのような先生に出会えて、子供もわたしも幸運でした。
楽しく、刺激的で、アートを体験させてくれる、アットホームなイングリッシュスクールをお探しの方にお勧めしたいです！
“ 生後10ヶ月から5ヶ月通わせて頂き、どうもありがとうございます。
破天荒な息子ですが、否定せずそこから次の遊びへと発展させる好奇心を伸ばす技量はさすがです。和から外れて違う事に興味をそそられている息子と一緒に楽しんで頂き、いつの間にか和に戻してくれています。
季節のリトミックやアート、工作で提供させる発想は興味深いです。いつも親子共に楽しませて頂き、本当にありがたい時間となっています。
先生の聡明かつ誠実で愛情深いお人柄は、何度も私たちを救ってくれました。英語が乏しい私でもやりとりさせてくださり、育児の相談などもでき、先生はありがたい存在です。
これからも、どうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。”
“子供達がアフタースクールとサタデースクールに2年以上通っています。英語を勉強では無く、普段の生活の中で自然な生の英語に触れられる事に魅力を感じて通い始めました。先生方の雰囲気もとても良く、レッジョエミリアやartを体験できる所も魅力の一つです。ARTも色々趣向を凝らしていて、子供も自由に活動ができ、普段は体験できないような体験をさせていただけてとても楽しんで通っています。サマースクールやウィンタースクールもあり、色々なプログラムがあるので非常に満足しています。英語を勉強するのでは無く、コミュニケーションの一つの手段として慣れ親しみ、好き！になってもらえらたらいいなと思っています。”
「先生のIvicaさんは温かく子供たちを見守ってくださり、子供たちが自由に創造性を発揮できるような環境を整えてくれています。毎週異なるテーマでレッスンが行われることにも感心しており、とても満足しています。英語がまだ上手でない我が家の子供たちも毎回レッスンに行くのを楽しみにしています。毎回帰宅後はレッスンの中でやったこと、作ったもののことを嬉しそうに話してくれます。Ivicaさんは子供の創造性を育む情熱と、子供たちへの愛情に溢れた素晴らしい先生です。」
Jollykidsは少人数でのクラスで、子供たちの興味を沢山引き出してくれる場所です。娘はアートで想像力、集中力が付いたように感じます。
娘を見てると、何かを作り上げた喜びと自信が溢れている様子が伺え、楽しい時間を過ごしているんだな、と感じます。
先生は子供たちが大好きで、いつも娘のやりたい事や好きなモノを尊重してくれます。娘も先生が大好きです！
また、英語を話す環境になるので、同時にいくつかの英単語を覚えます。なんとなくですが、娘は簡単な英語であれば理解しています。先生との自然な会話の中で英語を覚えていく、というのも魅力的です。
