About Yokosuka Christian School
Yokosuka Christian Academy (YCA) is a Preschool to K-5 school established in 2027 to provide Christ-centered education to the children of evangelical missionaries.
YCA’s main goal is to walk alongside and support both the family and trusted churches in seeking spiritual transformation for its students. Knowledge and application of biblical truth take practical reinforcement and consistent training and support. The teaching that a child receives in school, even a Christian school, should pale in comparison to that which is taught in the home. However, simply because of the significant number of hours spent in school every week, it influences and impacts how a child thinks and behaves. Therefore, the school and the family working together toward the goal of providing biblically-based education is crucial and will result in great blessings for each child and youth enrolled at YCA.
Our program uses English as the language of instruction and a North American curriculum.
Our Multi-Level Teaching Method
Multi-level teaching or multi-age classrooms are classrooms with students from more than one grade level and involve teaching students of multiple grade levels at once. In schools, this is often referred to as differentiation or composite classes and involves teaching the same objectives to various learners at different levels, essentially teaching the same concepts at the same time, while providing grade-specific content at levels suitable to the students. Studies of the performance of students in composite classes show their academic performance is not substantially different from those in single-grade classrooms; instead, outcomes tend to be a function of the teacher's performance.
