Admissions Study Abroad Center (Admission Study Abroad Center) will hold the "Canada STEAM Camp 2024" (hereinafter referred to as "Canada STEAM Camp") for elementary, junior high, and high school students in two groups from July 21, 2024 (Sunday). Applications for participants are now open.


Based on our long track record of studying abroad in Canada in the ballet and arts fields and our experience supporting the international education and growth of children, we provide high-quality STEAM education to Japanese children through a variety of programs unique to Canada. I planned this with the intention of providing it.


Canada STEAM Camp 2024


The Canada STEAM Camp not only enhances children's problem-solving skills by allowing them to exercise their creativity, but also fosters a sense of global awareness through fun learning and interaction with Canadian children, in the hope that it will broaden their future options and enrich their lives.

"STEAM Education" to Expand Children's Future Choices and Challenges for Japan

STEAM education, which stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics, is not a traditional approach to learning that focuses on the accumulation of knowledge, but rather on learning through practical projects.

Students are sometimes confronted with real-world problems and experience the process of coming up with solutions. Problem solving requires logical thinking, and the STEAM approach fosters this skill. to survive in a world where AI is on the rise, human creativity is important in contrast to AI that manipulates big data.

In Japan, programming education will become compulsory in elementary schools from the 2020 school year and in junior high schools from the 2021 school year as a part of such education. It is said that the challenges for the spread of STEAM education in Japan are the development of educational facilities and the improvement of educators' skills.



Studying abroad is now a national project.

The Japanese government has been working to increase the number of university and high school students who study abroad in order to nurture global human resources who can play an active role in the world. This is the "Tobitate! Study Abroad Japan" program. The program, a public-private partnership led by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, has been re-launched with a new concept, aiming to increase the total number of Japanese students studying abroad to 500,000 by 2033.

The program supports a wide variety of study abroad programs as a scholarship program that does not require repayment, regardless of English ability or grades.



Advantages of Choosing Canada as a Study Abroad Destination

<Safe and Secure

Canada is known worldwide as a safe and comfortable country to live in. Unlike the U.S., Canada is a neighboring country with much less violent crime than the U.S. due to gun control. Canada also ranks first in the world for quality of life (QOL).

Canada is a multinational country. Canadians have long accepted and understood other cultures and have lived in harmony with people from other cultures. There are many relationships with people whose first language is not English, and even if you are not sure about your English ability, you can rest assured that many people will respond to you with consideration and compassion.


<Affordable prices and satisfaction compared to study abroad in the U.S.

Thousands of international students and their parents choose Canada as their study abroad destination each year. Tuition in Canada is lower than in neighboring countries, while the quality of the educational programs is maintained.



What is the province of Alberta, where STEAM Canada camps are held?

Alberta is a province located in the western part of Canada and is rich in natural beauty. It is the main gateway to the Canadian Rockies and offers unparalleled scenery of picturesque foothills, parks, and rolling prairies. It is also a vibrant and prosperous province with abundant natural resources.

The program includes an excursion to Banff National Park, Canada's oldest national park and one of the best places to learn about natural ecosystems.


The program also includes an excursion to Banff National Park, Canada's oldest national park, which is the best place to learn about natural ecosystems and why Lake Louise lake is emerald green. The park will be an unforgettable sight for children.
