The Global Identity Program
The Global Identity Program (GIP) program provides children with social responsibility and agency through project-based learning to self-discover and gain independence through the exploration of various topics and issues. The curriculum is designed to run from elementary through high school children living in orphanages across Japan, allowing the children to self-discover how they want to play a positive role in the increasing globalizing society.
The three pillars that make up the program consist of global citizenship, English literacy, and digital literacy, allowing the children to self-discover and become independent in Japan’s growing multicultural and technologically advancing society.

Weekly Classes
Our program offers weekly classes that utilize a project-based methodology to enhance life skills while exposing children to global issues. This format allows students to delve into a variety of topics such as identity, entrepreneurship, and social responsibility, among others. Each six-month module is designed to inspire children to explore and identify their own interests and passions, fostering a journey of self-discovery within our program.
Spring and Summer Camp
Our Spring and Summer Camps serve as a platform for children to present their semester-long projects to peers, sponsors, and volunteers, demonstrating their learning and achievements. These camps not only celebrate the children's efforts but also incorporate enjoyable activities, enriching their educational experience and encouraging personal growth. Our spring camp is conducted annually in March and August.

Purpose of GIP
Japan is home to over 600 orphanages, sheltering more than 30,000 children. Tragically, many of these children end up in care due to experiences of violence, with over 200,000 cases of child abuse reported last year alone. Despite the declining population of children under 18 in Japan, the number of children in orphanages remains steady—an indicator of the nation’s ongoing orphan crisis.
Unfortunately, most of these children feel that their career choices are limited to the teachers and social care workers they interact with, the sole adults in their lives. To allow the children to realize their unlimited potential, we recently launched the Global Identity Program, which allows children from elementary to high school to self-discover their passions and interests.
