  • Conrad Totman Papers, 1800-2005 (Bulk 1948-2005
    Special Collections and University Archives : University Libraries Conrad Totman Papers 1800-2008 (Bulk: 1948-2005) 65 boxes (53 linear ft.) Call no.: MS 447 Collection overview A scholar of the history and culture of early modern Japan, Conrad Totman began his career as a student of ornamental horticulture at the University of Massachusetts. After graduation in 1953, Totman served in the army for three years in South Korea where got his first taste of Japanese culture during leave. His experiences in Japan piqued his scholarly interest, and upon his return to the states with his new wife Michiko, he finished college at UMass and did his graduate work at Harvard where he received a doctorate in 1964 for a study of politics during the Tokugawa period. Totman held academic positions at UC Santa Barbara, Northwestern, and Yale before retiring in 1997. The bulk of the collection documents Professor Totman's education and professional work as a scholar and teacher of Japanese history. Dispersed throughout is a treasure trove of information on Japan in general, and particularly on his specialties: early modern Japan and forestry and environmental management. An enormous, highly influential, and cherished part of Totman's life is his family, and the Totman clan is well represented in this collection. Reams of genealogical material document the rich heritage of the Totman family, including the transcribed love letters and diaries of his paternal grandmother and biographies of Totman ancestors, as well as hundreds of letters written between Michiko and her family in Japan. Background on Conrad D. Totman On a wintry 5th of January, 1934, Conrad Davis Totman was born in an upstairs bedroom of the family farmhouse in Conway, Massachusetts.

  • CA 209 the Cost of Education at CA
    CA 209: The Cost of Education at CA The school’s mission statement is: “Canadian Academy inspires students to inquire, reflect, and choose to compassionately impact the world through their lives.” One of the core values is “open, respectful, and inclusive communication builds trust.” Our mission requires great staff and resources and comes with a significant price. The intention of this article is to communicate about that cost as it compares with similar schools and those which are not so similar. First, we’ll look at how our tuition fees compare to our collegial schools in the Asia Pacific Activities Conference – schools that many of our families attended before arriving in Kobe or which they will move on to next. Asia Pacific Activities Conference Schools (APAC) There are 11 schools in the APAC conference across 5 countries including: ● China: Western Academy of Beijing, International School of Beijing, Shanghai American School, Concordia International School Shanghai, American International School of Guangzhou ● Hong Kong: Hong Kong International School ● Philippines: Brent International School of Manilla ● Korea: Taejon Christian International School, Seoul Foreign School ● Vietnam: United Nations International School of Hanoi ● Japan: Canadian Academy The cost of living varies among the cities where APAC schools are located. Hong Kong is the most expensive, followed by Seoul, Shanghai and Kobe. Following these is Beijing and Guangzhou with the least expensive cities being Hanoi and Manilla. (Source: Mercer Cost-of-Living Index) Based on this information, where would you guess that Canadian Academy’s 2018-19 tuition rates fall in comparison to APAC schools? Perhaps in the middle? In fact, our cost of attendance is the second lowest for returning students before and after adjustment for the cost of living in various cities.

  • SCBWI Directory of International Schools Edited by Holly Thompson (Updated October 2017)
    SCBWI Directory of International Schools Edited by Holly Thompson (updated October 2017) Introduction to the Directory of International Schools The SCBWI Directory of International Schools helps connect SCBWI authors, illustrators and translators who do school visits with interested international schools around the world. The Directory lists international schools that feature (or plan to feature) author, illustrator or translator visits. The submission period for schools to submit data for the Directory is September 1 to October 15. Librarians at international schools worldwide are encouraged to submit info for their schools. International schools worldwide wishing to submit data should fill out the online form here: http://www.scbwi.org/school-visit- information/ International schools usually embrace a global outlook. The community of an international school—the administrators, faculty, students and families—typically includes members of many different cultures, languages and belief systems, and the approach to education tends to be truly international. Some international schools follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, including the IB Primary Years Program, the IB Middle Years Program, and the IB Diploma Program; other international schools follow the national curriculum of a particular country, such as Australian Schools, Japanese Schools or British Schools. While some international schools include students of the local culture, some international schools are forbidden by local law from accepting local students. And in countries such as South Korea, international schools may be composed almost entirely of students from the local culture studying in English. Some international schools are aligned with a particular religious faith. Most international schools are located in or near major cities.
