When is the beginning and end of the school year?

The school year begins at the end of August or beginning of September, depending on the calendar.
The school year ends at the end of June.

Question 4

What is the nationality ratio of the school?

Accepted Answer

The ratio varies significantly between the primary, lower secondary, and upper secondary division, which is why we do not have a single ratio value to share. However, as a general trend, we have more students who are of a foreign nationality than a Japanese nationality as the grade level progresses higher. This is due to the reason that students in the older ages apply and enroll in our school with the objective of studying specifically with the Cambridge Curriculum in order to obtain a qualification. Regardless of the age group, many of those who represent the Japanese nationality represent more than one nationality, which is why our school consists of students who represent a wide variety of nationalities from all over the world.

Question 5

Does the school offer after school club activities?

Accepted Answer

The school offers after school club activities led by teachers of the school for the primary division students. We do not have a set schedule for the club activities for secondary division students, however, upon request, we may offer after school club activities dedicated to the secondary division.

The clubs for the primary division are usually held once a week between 15:40-16:30. We also have a homework club everyday for primary students to attend if they wish to finish their homework at school before going home. Secondary students who wish to ask question after school should schedule a meeting with the teachers individually to ask for help whenever necessary.

Question 6

Does the school offer a summer school programme?

Accepted Answer

We offer a summer school program for Camelot students every year in July and/or August. The summer school focuses on enhancing the students' academic skills particularly in English and Mathematics. Depending on the school year, we will offer summer school for 2-4 weeks. This program is not available for students that do not attend Camelot.

Question 7

Does the school offer a school bus?
