Laurus International School Summer Events

Laurus International School is a leading science school in Japan. With close to 25 years of operations in Greater Tokyo through the Laurus Group, students and parents value our deep early introduction to science and focus on STEAM, entrepreneurship & innovation programs. We offer a continuous learning pathway from Preschool all the way to Secondary School.

Our PRIMARY SUMMER SCHOOL is a much-loved annual event, running for 8 weeks and open to non-Laurus students. Have siblings? Discover our PreK Summer Camp (Ages 1.5-6) and Secondary STEAM Summer Programs (Ages 11-15).

Join Laurus Weekly, from Jun 30 - Aug 22

Join us for 8 weeks of summer educational fun at Laurus Primary School, for ages 6 - 11.

This year’s overarching theme for Primary Summer School is Laurus World Expo: Building a Brighter Future. Each week features a dedicated theme related to science/STEAM. Learn, meet new friends while finding comfort in the summer heat at our modern campus in Shiba.

Guided by passionate educators in a fully English-speaking environment, students collaborate, experiment and reflect in ways that nurture both intellectual curiosity and creative problem solving.

Weekly Schedule

  • Join us for a high-energy week packed with fun games, sporty challenges, and cool experiments. You’ll play exciting team games, try out new sports, and use real science tools to track things like your heart rate and how much energy you use during exercise. You’ll discover what happens inside your body when you move—and why! 

    Whether you're a science whiz, a sporty superstar, or just curious about how your body works, this is the summer adventure for you. Let’s race, explore, and discover together! 

    Bring your trainers, your curiosity, and get ready to move, learn, and have LOADS of fun! 

  • Students will explore how cities work and how they can be improved for the future. They'll learn how buildings, roads, and systems like transport and energy are all connected. Through fun, hands-on STEM activities, students will design parts of a city that can grow over time, stay safe during disasters, and work better for the people who live there. 

  • The design of our indoor living spaces shows our cultural priorities and deeply held beliefs.  These priorities have changed more in the last 5 years than they have in generations.  We are seeing macro shifts in interior design.  Let’s explore the future of indoor living spaces.   What kind of society do we want to encourage?  What materials should we use?  How should we arrange our living spaces?  We’ll design the homes and offices of the future. 

  • Get ready to taste your way around the globe and into the future! This deliciously curious week dives into the science behind what we eat, why we eat it, and how food is evolving across cultures and technologies.

    From experimenting with edible chemistry to exploring global cuisines and investigating foods of the future—like lab-grown meat and vertical farming—you'll engage in hands-on culinary STEM challenges and discover how innovation, sustainability, and tradition come together on our plates.

    By the end of the week, you’ll be thinking like a food scientist, innovating like a chef, and creating like a cultural explorer! Bon appétit! 

  • Students will work together to solve real problems and make the world a better place. You’ll engage in games and crafts that explore building things like strong roads, stronger infrastructure, and using technology. 

  • Step into the spotlight this summer with a fashion and design program that’s bursting with creativity and style!

    In Future Threads, students will explore the latest trends, experiment with bold ideas, and bring their own clothing concepts to life. From sketching and mood boards to hands-on design challenges and mini runway moments, this is a chance for young creatives to express themselves, learn new skills, and discover the art of fashion in a fun, collaborative environment.

    Let’s stitch the future—one outfit at a time! 

  • This hands-on program combines science, creativity, and play as kids explore rain, wind, clouds, and storms through exciting experiments and building challenges.

    From making tornadoes in a bottle to designing storm shelters and becoming junior weather reporters, each day is packed with fun, discovery, and real-world science. Get ready to chase the weather and spark a love for learning—rain or shine!

  • Join us for an exciting, hands-on week as we explore how to care for our planet and shape a better tomorrow.

    Through creative projects, team challenges, and outdoor adventures, our children will discover how small actions can make a big difference to our planet. From designing eco-friendly inventions to learning about renewable energy, this week is all about becoming young changemakers for the future.

    Let’s learn, create, and take action for a greener, more sustainable planet!

Health & Safety

  • For students with allergies, please bring your own lunch as we are unable to provide lunch for students with allergies during seasonal events.

  • During seasonal events we are unable to accept students requiring the use of an EpiPen due to the lack of medical staff available.

  • Since the administration of medication to children is a “medical procedure” as defined by law, we do not have permission to administer medication to children. Therefore, as a general rule, we are not able to accept medication at the school or on the school bus.
