RWI, which started as Rainbow Wings International LLC in January 2013, has become a business that has lasted for more than 10 years, but there are always new discoveries. "There are many possibilities for the RWI Family." Believing that, we want to continue to work hard and grow without changing, so that the happiness of everyone who uses our facilities, the people in the neighboring areas, the staff and everyone who is involved in our business will spread. Now, as I feel more and more that we are entering an era where we need to coexist with people, environment and nature on a global scale, as various issues such as AI utilization, climate change, food problems, conflicts, etc. pile up. I think that "diversity" will become a more important force when I think that we need to adapt to the changes with a free mind without being bound by the knowledge and experience that our predecessors have accumulated while respecting them.
We have always believed that it is important to accept and utilize diversity since we set our philosophy of "nurturing children who fly around the world with seven-colored wings". Now, people from various nationalities (including Japanese), experiences, skills, and worldviews have gathered together, and a culture of respect and cooperation has been created. This is a very valuable world that has grown within the small frame of RWI Family. And I'm sure that the children who grow up in this worldview nurtured by RWI Family will also interact with various differences and changes with curiosity, and naturally learn the wonder and importance of coexistence. I hope that the time and experience they spend here will become a force that leads to their bright and fun future.

Rainbow Wings International was established in October 2013 to contribute to the solution of the waiting children problem in Inzai City. We are sincerely grateful for having been able to continue our operations until now. I really appreciate for the understanding and cooperation of the parents, as well as the support of everyone who has been involved with our school, and the staff who share the same goal.
The first graduates of our school became sixth graders in April 2023. They had various experiences at RWI during the most important period of personality formation. I had been thinking of creating a study abroad system that allows them to experience different cultures and broaden their vision as early as possible, while watching over them through a Gakudo club and RWI Afterschool after their graduation. And in March 2023, we finally realized the first short-term study abroad program in Australia for students who are taking English classes in fourth grade or higher. We were deeply moved by the children who overcame their first overseas life on their own, staying with a host family and attending a local elementary school, and returned with a smile and confidence in their eyes. We will continue to provide experiences that resonate with the children’s hearts and watch over them for their bright future.
The social environment surrounding us has changed significantly in the past 10 years. Especially, everyone must have felt anxious and suffered from the threat of COVID-19. In order to coexist with the changing social situation, we need to nurture the ability to think and solve problems by ourselves. Our educational philosophy and goals, which we have set since the opening of the school, contain a lot of essence to nurture the foundation for each child to live happily and brightly in a diverse world. We will strive to provide an environment and activities that fill the children’s hearts with excitement, and help them grow while having fun through various experiences.
