At Nishimachi a strong sense of community service begins in Kindergarten. Our philosophy is to nurture in our students the natural response to want to contribute to their communities, local, global and immediate, and to develop a life-long commitment to community service. Students have opportunities to contribute to, and participate in, a variety of community service projects such as Tohoku relief projects, community service with sister schools in Japan and in Cambodia, various international disaster relief support projects, helping the aged and homeless and animal welfare support.
