Our Pre-School Montessori students in Miss Almoula's and Miss Chito's class participated in a special Science experiment: using a thermometer to read the temperature.

November 5th, 2022 marked a special occasion as Saint Maur staff, alumni, parents and members of the international community in Yokohama came together to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Saint Maur International School. The event was held at the ballroom of the splendid Kahala Hotel & Resort with our alumnus and renowned TV personality, Thane Camus, guiding us through the evening.

Towards the end of January both Grade 4 classes visited the Chemistry lab to learn how to make crystals.

It was a weekend of excitement and competition as three teams from the Saint Maur Robotics Club traveled to the American School in Japan (ASIJ) to compete in the VEX Robotics Competition on Friday, January 13 and Saturday, January 14. The three teams were made up of students from grades 9, 10, 11 and 12, who had been working hard in preparation for the event.

Last Friday, the Grade 7s gathered with Ms Mansson and their Homeroom teachers to participate in their Day of Reflection. The day was focused on our School Motto: Simple in Virtue, Steadfast in Duty.

On Sunday, November 13th, the Parent Support Group hosted a grand fundraiser, Christmas Wonderland. In addition to being a wonderful start to the holiday season, this event is a celebration of our international community who came together to partake in the festivities. With a variety of cuisines that represent our community, we had over 10 different booths selling delicious food and drinks. Our community members came out in full force and began cooking bright and early.

The Science Department hosted its yearly special lecture last Tuesday. Those lectures aim to introduce a world-renowned scientist to our International Baccalaureate natural scientists in order for them to hear about their research and activities, obtain inspiration from their careers, and forge connections with the professional world. Year after year, dedicated students seize those opportunities, which sometimes materialize into summer placements, special visits, and more. 

Earlier this month, the grade 7 classes and homeroom teachers enjoyed a three day excursion to Miyagi prefecture. The goals of the trip were to experience the culture of Japan, to build friendships, and to have fun. Happily, the trip was a success on all three fronts.
