Ichiro Tanaka
Principal, Member of the Japan Private Elementary School Association
“A new style of learning that grows alongside children”
Dokodemo Gakuen is more than just an online learning program — it functions as “another school” where children can continue learning with peace of mind.
Following Japan’s national curriculum, it allows students to steadily build foundational academic skills while also providing opportunities to connect and grow with peers from around the world.
In particular, the subject-specialized, small-class structure enables teachers to give close attention to each child, embodying the idea of “education that stays close to every learner.”
For families living abroad or preparing to return to Japan, this system offers invaluable support, making the transition back to school life smooth and reassuring.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dokodemo Gakuen as a new model of learning for this generation — one that builds confidence and fosters growth for both children and their families.
Sarah Nakamura
Chairperson, North America Japanese Parents Association
“A reassuring presence for families raising children abroad”
For families like ours raising children overseas, ensuring that our kids can continue learning within the Japanese education system is often a major challenge. Local Japanese schools or supplementary classes are not always sufficient, so Dokodemo Gakuen truly serves as a reassuring presence that helps fill that gap.
The curriculum closely follows that of Japanese elementary schools, providing parents with peace of mind. The teachers, with their rich experience, create a warm, encouraging atmosphere where children can learn with confidence. Beyond academics, the program also offers opportunities for self-expression, presentations, and interaction with peers—helping children experience “school life” in a fulfilling way.
I deeply appreciate Dokodemo Gakuen’s efforts to continue Japanese-style learning for families abroad. It gives us a strong sense of connection and support, even from afar.
As a representative of Japanese parents in North America, I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful initiative.
Dr. Michael Sato
Senior Researcher, Institute for International Education
“Cutting-edge learning that nurtures a global mindset”
In today’s increasingly globalized world, what children need most is not just academic ability, but a global perspective and an appreciation for diversity.
Dokodemo Gakuen offers precisely that — it provides students with learning experiences aligned with Japan’s national curriculum, while leveraging the advantages of online education to connect with peers around the world.
From the standpoint of international education, this initiative is highly valuable.
The program ensures high-quality instruction by combining certified Japanese teachers with experienced native English instructors and other specialists.
It is especially effective in helping children express themselves, work collaboratively, and develop the essential skills required to thrive in an increasingly interconnected society.
As an expert in global education, I strongly endorse Dokodemo Gakuen and the important role it plays in shaping the learners of tomorrow.

帰国後もスムーズに学校生活へ復帰できました
海外駐在
小4保護者
海外で現地校に通わせながら、日本語や学習内容の遅れが心配でした。どこでもがくえんに通い始めてからは、日本の教科書を使った授業で学びを続けられたおかげで、帰国後もスムーズに学校生活へ戻れました。授業だけでなく、発表会や交流イベントもあり、子どもが仲間と一緒に学ぶ楽しさを実感できたことが何より良かったです。保護者向けの面談も丁寧で、安心して任せられました。
不登校だった子が自信を取り戻しました
国内在住
小5保護者
登校が難しい日が続き、家での学習も思うように進まず悩んでいました。どこでもがくえんでは、少人数クラスで先生が一人ひとりの発言を大切にしてくださるので、わが子も徐々に自分の意見を言えるようになりました。オンラインでもクラスメイトと一緒に活動する時間があり、「自分もここにいていいんだ」と思える居場所ができたようです。学習の遅れも取り戻せて、笑顔が増えました。
時差のある海外でも安心して続けられる
北米在住
小2保護者
時差の関係で参加できるか不安でしたが、クラス時間帯が複数あり、現地時間の夕方に合わせて受講できたので無理なく続けられました。欠席時には録画でフォローできるのも助かっています。日本の学びを継続できるだけでなく、海外に住む同世代の仲間と一緒に授業を受けられるのが楽しいようで、毎週楽しみにしています。家庭での学習サポートも充実していて、安心して任せられます
