Typically, traditional school puts the responsibility of educating children primarily on the educational institution while homeschooling puts that responsibility on the parents.

English is the primary language of instruction. Japanese is taught as a foreign language.
5. What are some of the activities that students are involved in?
Grace Christian International School students participate in a wide variety of activities including gospel music choir, film making, dramatic plays, mission trips, field trips, cultural experiences, sports day, and community service.
