Springbridge International School in Campbell, California offers summer camps to children. Our mission is to foster respect, integrity, and self-discovery in a compassionate, multicultural environment. Our graduates will be fluent in Japanese or Mandarin language and culture. They will be capable of writing and speaking well in English and possess strong mathematical skills in preparation for college preparatory high school. They will be practiced leaders when given the opportunity, and solid supporters and team players. They will derive confidence through independent exploration and excellence through pursuing a passion
We encourage students to respect themselves, the environment and other cultures and traditions. Our students learn to look, listen, study and appreciate other systems and practices. Reason and logic form the building blocks that shape our understanding of the world and our experiences with it. We encourage our students to reflect on past experiences and apply logic and reason when problem-solving.
