TWIS Organic Garden
Tokyo West international School is a international school in Tokyo, Hachioji, Umetsubo.
Project Name: Organic Garden Project
Size:1600m
Start date:2019
Certified by the IB:2023
At Tokyo West International school, students learn and experience helping and growing our own organic garden with unlimited vegetables. Students learn how each vegetable works and students learn the importance of the organic garden.
The reason we run a Organic Garden program is that we think the ability for your child to be able to go out to a field, grow farm products by themselves, harvest the products, cook, eat and enjoy them is important. Being a part of this project, our students will learn elements in science, ecology and economics, as well as learn the relationship between living things. We hope this experience will motivate our students into the future to have a greater appreciation and understanding of the world around them.
As part of this garden project we aim to build and develop a strong partnership with a local agriculture venturing company who will work with the school to help in various areas such as soil improvement, selecting appropriate farming products and management of our farming goods and produce. This will also assist in integrating aspects of multiple subjects into the learning experience for our students.
Garden Teacher
Our garden is guided by our garden teacher, Mr.Jun, which teaches and let the students experience the nature and the growth of the organic vegetables. He also teaches us various facts about health.
