Explore, Imagine, Create!
This summer, we’re dreaming big: What will the cities of tomorrow look like? Join us for KOBILS Summer School 2025, where students will explore the theme of Sustainable Future Cities, inspired by SDG 11 and 13. Through hands-on, inquiry-based activities, students will imagine cleaner, greener communities—and Elementary students will even visit the World Expo to see cutting-edge innovations in action!
Expo 2025 Field Trip (Upper School)
Elementary students will visit a selection of inspiring pavilions at the World Expo to explore how countries are tackling global sustainability challenges and designing the smart cities of the future.
Architectural Exploration Around Kobe (Kindy)
Kindergarten students will explore buildings and community spaces in Kobe (details to be announced), developing an early awareness of how design shapes the places we live and play.
Research Lapbooks
Students will document their learning in handmade lapbooks filled with designs, study notes, and mini-reports to showcase their understanding and creativity.
Hands-On Creativity
From model cities built with recycled materials to real-world problem-solving challenges, students will work together to design, test, and refine their ideas.
Outdoor Learning & Activities
Our summer schedule includes Water Day, urban nature walks, team-building games, and a Pool Day at Shioya Country Club (subject to weather).
Kindy Sandwich Party / Upper School Farewell Picnic
We’ll celebrate the end of our learning journey with a shared lunch on the final day. There’ll be a sandwich party for Kindy and a picnic for Elementary (lunch provided!). All students will finish at 13:30.
Online Student Showcase
Families will enjoy a digital presentation of student work, learning, and reflections at the end of the program.
