Tsukuba International School now has a mailing list for people who want to be kept informed of what is happening at the school. The mailing list is “announcement-only”, not a discussion list, so members will only receive emails directly from the school, not from other members of the list. The list volume should be quite low, with only about one email sent out per month. We anticipate sending newsletters and other reports to the list so members can get a sense of what has been happening at the school.
The name of the list is “Friends of TIS” (hosted by Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/friendsoftis) and we hope that all people who are interested in the school (including current and former staff, students, and parents, people living in Tsukuba, and people who want to support the development of the school) will consider joining. If you are interested in being added to the list, please contact the school.

Today we had a drawing class, but it wasn’t the normal kind where we sit in our desks and draw something. Today we got to go outside and draw the things we saw around us.
It was a little bit hot, so we found some umbrellas to shield us from the heat. There was also some shade on the grass, so not all of us needed to use umbrellas.
Some of us drew pictures of trees and others drew pictures of animals and bugs. It was fun to spend some time outside!

Tsukuba International School (TIS) is currently accepting applications for the 2008-09 school year, which starts in September.
Tsukuba International School is a full-time elementary school (Grades 1 to 6) for children of all nationalities. It was founded in 1992 in response to the need for an English-based educational opportunity for students in the Tsukuba area. TIS is a non-profit and religiously-neutral organization. The school employs fully qualified native-English speaking teachers (currently from Australia, Canada, and the US).
TIS accepts students in grades 1 through 6. Students entering grade 1 must be 6 years old by December 31 of the current school year in order to be eligible for admission. This age requirement may be waived for transfer students who have completed at least one term of school elsewhere.
If you are interested in learning more about Tsukuba International School and our application procedures, please have a look at our website or contact the school directly.
Thank you for your interest in our school!
