Ms. Lauren
Head Teacher
Our head teacher, Ms. Lauren brings a wealth of experience from her time at Keiki starting in 2019. Since her time at Keiki she has been crucial to our success through her energetic classes and incredible capacity for creativity.
In her own words...
I believe in providing a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. It is my goal to create an atmosphere where students can excel to their greatest potential, as well as take pride in, and ownership of, their success. Within our classroom, our students will find a safe environment where they can share their ideas freely, receive positive feedback from their peers, tackle important milestones in their education, and discover their interests and passions further.
Mr. Eric
K1 Teacher
Mr. Eric brings years of experience with him to Keiki. His journey in education has seen him teach a wide range of students in Korea, Shizuoka, and other schools in Tokyo. Due to this he brings excellent insight through his educational approach.
In his own words...
Growing up in a family of teachers, I have always been involved with the educational process. Teaching a wide range of students and content has taught me many things relating to how we all learn and grow; I am understanding of the challenges students face in the modern classroom, but am firm with the expectations that nearly 2 decades of experience has shown me.
Embodying the humanistic and Socratic aspects of engaging with ourselves and others, I hope to ignite interest in the students' lives and inspire them to tap into their own strengths and self-confidence. In the early stages of education, emotional and social learning is such a critical component of the classroom and I hope to foster positive and empathetic leaders by being a good role model within the educational community.
