Since 2001 MSP International School has been a leading provider of English education in Matsuyama City.
Over this time we have developed and evolved our own unique curriculum to continuously challenge our students.
We provide a variety of educational programs to suit most students, ranging from infant classes with a parent, a daily kindergarten, and after school courses.
We pride ourselves on our classes not just being educational, but also dynamic, fun and engaging.
At MSP we believe that a second language will provide new opportunities and experiences but also builds character and confidence. It’s these values that motivate us to keep improving English education in Matsuyama.

MSP implements an English teaching style
that fosters genuine communication skills,
which is completely different
from the framework of school English.

We educate children in the ability to communicate in English.
The word “immersion” expresses the idea of fully immersing oneself in something.
Immersion education does the same thing,
placing a child in a completely English environment
so that the student isn’t just learning English,
but USING it as well.
That is widely recognized as a bilingual teaching method.
MSP provides practical guidance to enable children to communicate in English by allowing
children to learn in an only – English environment,
and to communicate in English even among Japanese children.

Currently, it is difficult for an individually owned English language school to gain the acceptance of the country as an educational facility. So most of them have a tendency to stick their students in a room all day. However, MSP was built just like a house with a back yard, so that children can play safely and healthily. In addition, our location was chosen because of the large park that is only a three-minute walk from school. We hope kids can learn English more freely and naturally.

Some might feel that trips outside the classroom, etc. are not necessary to learn English. However, during early childhood, when kids are learning and developing quickly, we believe being stuck inside just looking at English is not so good for stimulating young minds. So it is our hope that kids can learn English through the various fun experiences at our school just like they do in a regular Japanese kindergarten. At MSP, children enjoy the experience of venturing outside the classroom, and are encouraged to use only English, guided by our foreign teachers and nursery staff. Our classes are small, and emphasize each student’s independence while encouraging everyone to participate. Children will enjoy old Japanese fairy tales, children’s’ stories, and learn manners. They’ll also celebrate Tanabata, and the Hina Matsuri, while experiencing western traditions such as Halloween and Christmas parties.

We would like kids to have a sense of being Japanese while giving them opportunities to experience both Western and Japanese cultures. In addition, it is one of the features of MSP that Japanese childcare workers (Kindergarten-licensed childcare workers) are always at school with native teachers. Though everything is done in English in the classroom, the experienced nursery staff play an important role especially when children may need to communicate in Japanese outside the classroom by listening to and talking to them in Japanese. The experienced nursery staff will carefully respond to each kid so that the child can grow up to be thoughtful and cooperative. They also talk to kids’ parents in person and help solve worries about parenting.
MSP develops and practices its own original curriculums that combines Japanese-kindergarten-modeled childcare and Western-kindergarten modeled English education.

It goes without saying that children are a treasure to their parents. As they wish for their children to have a bright future, the best thing we can do now is to provide the environment in which children can learn both enthusiastically and freely. As you dream of your child as an adult 10 to 20 years from now, we hope MSP can be one of the best investments you make for your child’s future. We believe that your kids will be grateful for the opportunity.
