◆ Steve Jobs School
At Steve Jobs School (SJS), children go to school is not a pencil but iPad. Also, there is no start time and the school building is always open so students can go to school anytime. There is no concept of a classroom or grade like a conventional one, there are only a group of 4 to 7 years old and a group of 8 to 12 years old. Here is a movie that can understand the state of SJS completely different from the conventional school like this.

The unique approach of the Steve JobsSchool in the Netherlands


This is the iPad that students use. With the iPad, students can learn in the same way both at school and outside.


Rather than merely packing knowledge, sometimes studying through games.


This is the schoolyard of SJS. Of course the important time to exercise to move the body.


"SJS thought about something that should be the education that should be done in the 21st century, the SJS program will realize not only improving the social nature of children but also improving individual talents," says Marie Leader · De Haan.


Students can access personal learning materials anytime, anywhere.


Each person sets a goal (goal). The goal is for each student and for each student.


◆ sCoolProjects
Learning materials are called sCoolProjects (SP).


You can learn both knowledge and skills at SP, and learning is done using text, music, video, presentation etc.


Basically, learning is done by the student on a subjective basis, and a style that the coach (teacher) supplementarily supports.


"Admitting autonomy is not to reduce rules," this is the design philosophy of SJS.


The deadline is set for SP. You can also access the coach for the completed project, but its superiority is not regarded as important.


Completed projects are recorded in the SJS database, and students can access them.


This is a group work by adult number.


The curriculum includes games and ...


Sports ......


There are also arts and culture.


◆ Tik Tik tool
At SJS, students use a dedicated application called Tik Tik Tool (TT) ......


Student learning plans are managed on the calendar.


The coach can also grasp the progress of students' learning with TT and use it for guidance in group work.


It is also possible to share information with students and coaches at TT.


Children 's parents can also access TT and also know that the children have arrived at school.


Parents can join the learning plan setting with their children at any time, if there is a mobile terminal.


◆ sCoolSpace
In SJS there are two school buildings, the real world and the virtual world. This is an application called "sCoolSpace" for accessing the school building in the virtual world.


In the iPad, a virtual school building sCoolSpace (SS) that closely resembles the school building of SJS is reproduced.


Students created avatars to use at SS. This boy is using an astronaut's avatar.


Access to SS anytime, anywhere. Students can video conversations with friends using Facetime or Skype.


Students can learn at any time by using SP and SS while staying at home.


Although SJS has only just begun, the 21st century style of education seems to be very different from what we have received.
