On August 11, 2018, for the Final Presentation, 95 students of SIJ presented projects that they had created in their classes, displaying a tremendous grasp of the English language and the skills developed in each of their workshops.

All of the instructors on Team USA were so proud and impressed by all of the students’ hard work!

The ceremony ended with fun speeches in Japanese by Team USA for the first-ever SIJ “Japanese Speech Competition,” which was won by Performing Arts Teacher Elizabeth Duncan.

Team USA will miss Oita and all of their students very much!
