Every child's educational journey is a unique adventure, and at Saint Maur International School in Yokohama, we've been offering individual learning experiences since 1872. Rooted in a commitment to providing excellent education to international families while honouring our French heritage, we established our integrated French School 'École Française'. Founded in August 2007, the French School at Saint Maur was born from the aspiration to meet the needs of the ever-growing community of French and French-speaking families in the region.

Japan, as one of the countries within the Pacific Ring of Fire, experiences regular seismic activity throughout the year, causing earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. Until the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake, which struck the Tohoku coast at 2:46 p.m. on March 11, 2011, the Great Kantō Earthquake of September 1, 1923 at 11:58, was the strongest earthquake ever to have taken place in Japan. While the latter registered 7.9 on the Richter scale, the Tohoku earthquake registered a magnitude of 9.1. Both caused devastating tsunami waves many meters high. While 140,000 lives were lost in the 1923 earthquake, the 2011 disaster saw almost 20,000 perish, with the tsunami accounting for 90% of deaths, and another 2,600 missing.

When we were seniors, we vowed to meet up soon and to definitely have a big reunion 20 years later when we all turned about 38. I remember vividly how the number 38 sounded so foreign and we all laughed when somebody vocalized the silent doubt in her mind of "Can we still walk at such an old age?"
