INTERNATIONAL TRIPS AND EXCHANGES 2019-2020 July 2019 DEAR PARENTS AND STUDENTS, We continue to inspire our students to become globally responsible citizens by providing international trips and exchanges. Ash- bury trips develop cultural competence and provide opportunities for students to learn about their world through service, adven- ture and experiential learning. We are delighted to share the opportunities available to our students during the 2019-2020 school year. Trip leaders for international trips will continue to promote and share information about trip destinations at Assembly, in Ashbury weekly newsletter and in classes. November 2019 THEATER ARTS TO NEW YORK CITY Calling all theatre lovers! Running during the 2019-2020 school year, the Drama department is planning a 4-day immersive theatre trip to New York City for students in Grades 9 – 12 with a love of theatre. You do not have to be registered in a drama course to attend the trip! The trip will allow students to explore theatre through a variety of lenses, including musicals, plays, choreography, directing, writing and all that goes on behind-the-scenes. Some of the highlights of the trip include: 3 workshops with acting coaches and professionals, a guided tour of a working theatre, two evening productions (one play, one musical), a tour of Lincoln Centre and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and will be capped off with a sightseeing tour of some of the most iconic landmarks of New York City.

There is the potential for cultural and ser- vice experiences on this trip as well. Students may spend some of their stay in Bermuda as billets with students from partici- pating high schools. This trip is open to both current and new competitive swimmers and there are only 26 spots allocated. The trip is scheduled 3 weeks before Ashbury’s major NCSSAA competition and OFSAA qualifier in Ottawa (our ‘City Championships’). Trip leaders are open to enrolling non-team members on this trip.

The conference is being hosted by Scotch Oakburn College in Newstead, Tasmania and will bring together over 350 students and teachers from all around the world. The theme of the conference is Take Less, Be More. ​ ​ Round Square is a worldwide network of 200 schools in 40 countries, all of whom share a holistic approach ​ to learning, built around six IDEALS (internationalism, democracy, environmentalism, adventure, leadership and service). Each year, Round Square schools send a team of delegates to the international conference. Marvelwood has participated in four conferences: The Journey That Makes Us in Switzerland in 2016, Unite to ​ ​ ​ Ignite the Fire Within in Cape Town, South Africa in 2017, Bring Your Difference in Ottawa, Canada in 2018, and ​ ​ ​ Sarvodaya– the world we wish to see in Indore, India. All four conferences were incredible experiences for our ​ ​ ​ delegates, who represented our School with pride, maturity, and curiosity. The Round Square Conference trip is truly the experience of a lifetime. Delegates have the opportunity to learn about and be immersed in cultures from around the world, develop a network of international friends and contacts, and gain perspective on what it means to be citizens of the world. Round Square is a highly recognized and respected organization throughout the world. Delegates become part of a vast network of Round Square alumni, which affords opportunities throughout their lives.

    West Meets East. a Well-Rounded Education Versus an Angular Education in Japan

    Cómo referenciar este artículo / How to reference this article Obara, K. (2018). West Meets East. A Well-Rounded Education versus an Angular Education in Japan. Espacio, Tiempo y Educación, 5(2), pp. 101-122. doi: http://dx.doi.org/10.14516/ete.213 West Meets East. A Well-Rounded Education versus an Angular Education in Japan Kazuhito Obara e-mail: [email protected] Tamagawa University. Japan Abstract: The idea of a well-rounded education is widely recognized, and as IB programs and the concept of an IB education are gradually yet steadily infiltrating the Japanese education system, Japan can no longer ignore the existence of a Zenjin («whole person») education, which was first practiced in 1921 by a Japanese philosopher of education named Kuniyoshi Obara. This paper compares the philosophical and theoretical foundations of Obara’s Zenjin education and a so-called «well-rounded» education, revealing the similarities between them and using these as a rationale for educational reform in Japan. In the literature review, the recent debate between well-rounded and angular education proponents is addressed, and it is concluded that a well-rounded education still has a role to play, even though there are a certain number of competitive and prestigious universities/colleges that question its merits and give priority to high school graduates who have specialized solely in one area, such as sports, arts, or a standard-deviation-value-oriented, angular education. Regardless of the fact that attaining good scores on academic tests is often thought to be a reasonable way for children to meet their aspirations and expectations and receive benefits from a meritocracy and an academic hierarchy, especially in Japan, this paper insists that a true form of education should be concerned with each individual’s whole personality, and therefore a Zenjin, or well-rounded, education must play a core role in the education system.
