SCHOOL DESIGN&CREATION

スクールデザインと作成

Expert guidance rooted in a decade of international school leadership and the Reggio Emilia approach from hands-on experience running the foremost successful international school inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy in Tokyo.

 

Our team offers comprehensive school design and creation services. We support new and growing schools in designing learning environments that reflect the values of curiosity, collaboration, and creativity. From layout planning and space functionality to selecting materials and creating aesthetically intentional environments, we help you build a school that is both pedagogically sound and visually inspiring. ​

 

Our services go beyond space design—we work with you to integrate sound child development philosophy into every aspect of your school’s identity. This includes consulting on classroom flow, documentation spaces, atelier setup, and even training your team to use the environment as the “third teacher.” Whether you’re launching a new preschool or transforming an existing space, we offer practical, culturally responsive solutions that align with your educational goals.

REGGIO EMILIA APPROACH EXPERTISE

レッジョ・エミリア・アプローチの専門性

RSTActivity05.png
Environment03.png

The Reggio Emilia approach is an internationally respected philosophy of early childhood education that originated in post-war Italy. It views children as capable, curious individuals with the right to participate in shaping their own learning.

 

This philosophy places great emphasis on relationships—between children, teachers, families, and the environment—and values learning as a process of exploration, collaboration, and meaning-making.

 

At its heart, Reggio is not just a teaching method, but a way of seeing people and communities as interconnected, creative, and full of potential.

As cities grow and new communities are built, the Reggio Emilia philosophy offers a powerful framework for designing spaces and systems that support lifelong learning, inclusion, and well-being. Education becomes more than schooling—it becomes a social act, deeply embedded in the fabric of everyday life.

 

Our consulting services help you bring this philosophy into reality, whether you're starting a new school, training educators, or planning community-based learning centers. By integrating Reggio values into educational planning and design, we help cultivate environments where children, families, and educators thrive together—fostering a more reflective, creative, and connected society.

Care is taken to setup aesthetically pleasing environments for children, with high quality materials.
