KA International School

KA International School (KAIS) is characterized by a strong culture of care and support, where every student is known as an individual and feels a deep sense of belonging. We cultivate meaningful community connections that allow students, families and teachers to work in close partnership. This creates an environment where learning is joyful, relationships are genuine and students feel confident to take risks and grow.

Our academic approach is grounded in the Visible Learning framework, which emphasizes clarity, purposeful feedback and evidence of impact. Teachers gather and reflect on learning data to tailor instruction, ensuring students make measurable progress and understand themselves as capable, independent learners.

Students benefit from a rigorous and engaging program supported by a passionate team of educators who are dedicated to each child’s well-being and success. A wide range of co-curricular opportunities further nurture creativity, curiosity and balanced development.

Graduates of KAIS leave well prepared for university and life beyond, equipped with strong skills, global awareness and the confidence to shape their own futures.

At KA International School, we believe that learning should spark joy, curiosity and a genuine love of discovery. Our educational approach is grounded in helping students understand themselves as capable, confident learners who can pursue personal excellence in meaningful ways.

We aim to nurture self-fulfilled individuals defined not only by what they achieve, but by who they become. Through a caring environment, creative and challenging learning experiences and strong guidance from their teachers, students develop the resilience, compassion and awareness needed to thrive in a changing global environment.

Most importantly, we want our students to use their learning to make a positive impact. Whether through acts of kindness, community engagement or future leadership, KAIS students grow into thoughtful, responsible individuals who contribute positively to the world around them.

KA International School is shaped by several core elements that define the student experience. One of these is our Wednesday Elective Program, which gives students structured opportunities to explore interests beyond the core curriculum and develop skills in areas they choose. This has become a signature aspect of life at KAIS and contributes to a highly engaging and individualized school experience.

KAIS is also the only school in Japan to be fully certified as a Visible Learning School. This certification reflects our commitment to evidence-based, data-informed teaching practices known to have the strongest impact on student learning and achievement. Students benefit from classes that are clearly structured, intentionally designed and focused on measurable progress.

Equally central to the KAIS experience are the strong community connections that support daily school life. Close relationships among students, families and teachers create an environment where communication is open, expectations are shared and each learner is understood as an individual. These connections allow students to engage deeply, take initiative and build a sense of direction in their learning.
