About
The Power to Grow Exist Within “Me”.

Every child has the strength to shape their own life.

Through encounters with new cultures and the world of nature,
their own senses, curiosity, and feelings begin to shine.
Rita School walks beside them on this journey.


In a world full of choices,
we hope children learn to listen to their hearts and think for themselves—
so they can discover what brings them joy and choose how they wish to live.

When a child learns to truly love themselves, a spirit of empathy—a heart that cares for others—naturally blossoms.

When we embrace one another,
each child’s unique personality flourishes even more.
Through education, we hope to nurture a world where everyone can bloom in their own way.

Philosophy
The Three Pillars of Rita School

Above all, Rita School values children’s own curiosity and motivation.
We provide opportunities for children to “try things out and learn through their five senses”—
experiences that are time-consuming and difficult to achieve at home.

Global Communication

Global Communication

We hope that children become adults who can express their thoughts and feelings in their own words anywhere in the world.

Our school aims to help children acquire English proficiency equivalent to that of first graders in English-speaking countries by graduation, through a structured curriculum within an environment where diverse cultures blend together.

Moreover, one of our unique features is that we also offer Japanese language classes. Honoring each child’s natural desire to express themselves, we nurture strong global communication skills.

Food Education

Food & Wellness

Human beings have always lived alongside nature. At Rita School, our vast woodlands offer the perfect setting for children to think freely—beyond conventional boundaries.

On our grounds live ducks, goats, pigs, and chickens. Children also venture into nature throughout the seasons—digging bamboo shoots, gathering clams and picking grapes.

Through hands-on encounters with living creatures and play that engages all five senses—sometimes getting wonderfully muddy—children learn the value of life and grow strong in both body and spirit.

Nature & Animals

Nature & Animals

The foundation of health begins with the food we eat every day.

Under the guidance of Mika Kunimitsu, an expert in minerals and organic foods, we provide meals that are gentle on both body and mind, minimizing ingredients such as sugar, wheat, and dairy.

We also have a “children’s kitchen,” designed to fit their height. By getting hands-on with cooking and cleaning from an early age, children learn the importance of food and develop a mindset to try things for themselves.
