Three Lions provides a healthy, welcoming environment. We’re constantly creating and developing an ideal environment for young learners to develop, have fun and grow.
The children at Three Lions are exposed to English daily, the children learn how to communicate with their peers and express themselves in English naturally.
Three Lions is a safe space for children to grow physically, cognitively and emotionally.

Door-to-Door Bus Service
If you have a busy schedule or live far away, no worries because we can help. Three Lions School provides door-to-door, pick-up and drop-off bus service. The school bus arrives directly in front of your door, and from there we offer a safe and enjoyable ride to school.
** During the bus journey, the children can watch a movie in English on the HD screen, sing or talk with the support teacher and their friends. **
** The school buses are less than 3 years old. They have high-quality AC systems ready to handle all weather conditions in Kumamoto. **
If you aren’t able to or don’t have anyone at home, we can drop your child off at another location of your choice (speak to a staff for more details).
