I have been living and working in Japan since 1997, with my wife who is Japanese and have over 40 years of practical hands-on professional experience in education and business abroad and in Japan. In 2008 I started the CEE BEE CENTER which is a Bilingual Therapy, Training and Support Center for Special Needs Children, families and teachers.  

In August 2020, with the support of my wife, I started the Move To Learn Global School and we run and manage the school together.  The reason for my starting this school from my perspective is, that there is so much more that can be done to make the present "general state of education” in Japan (or the world for that matter) even better for every student.  Each and every student have different abilities, disabilities, strengths and weaknesses, and learning needs and requires to be taught the way each one of them can learn, however this kind of support for each child is mainly being lost to the commercialization of the education sector as a profit-making business.  Modern society is being transformed by AI, but I firmly believe that basic essential human skills required to enrich our lives, e.g. sociability, sensibility, individual creativeness, cognitive, critical and logical thinking skills among others are being lost due to the influence of IT.

​

Therefore, it is of utmost importance that children learn various basic essential skills, using both their minds and body in such things as planning, organizing, creating, computing, analyzing, determining, distinguishing, evaluating, inferring, problem solving, producing, applying, explaining and learn to make and give their own opinions, rather than just repeat knowledge gained just through rote learning and memorzation through IT, and believe the opinions of others on the internet and social media sites.

​

Most Japanese and international schools for education in Japan, offer a curriculum that focuses on the acquisition of language and subject skills such as English, Japanese, Math, Social Studies, Arts, Science, Geography, History, IT, etc. in the early grades and some increasing exploration and project-based learning in the upper grades.  MTLGS is an inclusive, bilingual, transitional international school for education, with a practical and world orientated curriculum for Pre-school, Kindergarten and Elementary school students,  Our focus is on strengthening the foundations of learning and developing both the physical and mental capacity of each individual student to enable both present and future learning and growth.
