Seika Elementary School is another Yoyahama private school. It is part of a wider comprehensive complex. The Japanese tend to use the American term 'elementary' to describe a primary school.
The School describes its programs as "Being able to do people's worries so that they do not become people's things". We are not entirely sure what that means. Another post reports that the school promotes "Leadership and kindness acquired in a warm school atmosphere. There are about 80 students per grade, which must be divided in different classes. One parent reports that, "The school has a warm atmosphere. When he was in kindergarten, my son was so mature that he presented his opinion in front of everyone." Like most private schools the school offers information sessions and tours for prpspective students. The school sponsors a cultural festival in October. We also notice field trips organized by the school. The school has a playground and a pool open duriung the summer term. There is a six year (grade) program. There is an entrance exam, standard for private schools. The school even published a book about their exams--the Seika Elementary School Entrance Exam Braindumps. We do not know much about the book. It may be to help parents prepare their children to take the exam. It is probably useful for parents preparing their children for other school as well. Or it may be some kind of activity book. The book appears to be part of a series. The school has a traditional uniform which they proudly point out has not changed since it was first introduced. There is both a summer and winter uniform. While at school there ate light blue smocks.

When he was in kindergarten, my son was so mature that he presented his opinion in front of everyone, but now in the 6th grade, he became active as a leader of the representative committee by gathering friends and lower class students. Thanks to the guidance that respects autonomy and grows the good." A student writes that his teacher, "... not only improves academic ability, but also puts emphasis on education that fosters a compassionate heart. Originally, I like competition and I am a courageous child, but I feel that after entering the school, I can feel compassion for the opponent whether I win or lose."
There are about 80 students per grade, which must be divided in different classes. No private school would have 80 students in a class. That would not even occur in the public system. There is a six year (grade) program.

The school has a playground and a pool open duriung the summer term.
The school sponsors a cultural festival in October. We also notice field trips organized by the school. We do not know much about the trips organized. We suspect that there were mostly educatioinal field trips, but also some fun trips. The Japanese seem to take their field trips seriously. We notice one field trio ro a park that had a pagoda-type structure. The children are given assignents and are show hard at work in the observariins assigned.
The school has a traditional uniform which they proudly point out has not changed since it was first introduced. There is both a summer and winter uniform (November to April). While at school there are light blue smocks. The boys' uniform includes a navyt bluer felt hat with matching jacket, and short pants. The boys' jacket has a large white collar attached which is nor part of the shirt. There are also navy blue or black plain knee socks and black leather shoes. The boys wear long sleeved white socks. The girls' uniform is the same felt hat and a long sleeved sailor jacket which is called a jumper. The kacket is worn with a pleated skirt. The girls wear navy blue knee socks and black leather shoes. A red scarfe is added for a little color. The school was proud of its traditiinal uniform which is unchanged since the school's founding. The summer uniform is more similar. There is a white fabric hat That can be worn with the brim turned up or down. The boys wear a shirt-sleeved collared shirt with belted navy blue short pants. It is work with white socks ans the ane bkack leatther shoes worn during the winter. The girls wear a white shoirt-sleeved shirtlimke the boiys. (Both have pointed collars.) The girls wear suspender (described as 'fishing') skirts horts and white socks with nblack leather shoes. The socks are described as picket white. We are not sure what that means. We susapect that some of the younger boys may wear suspender shorts. We are not sure if all the girls wear suspender skirts. We notice the children wearing light-blue smaockas at school. We are not sire how commin that was or just when they were worn. We notice them duting and outside of the classroom.
