Academic Excellence

This school offers a thoughtfully designed learning journey from Early Learning through High School, focused on holistic development, academic rigour, and global-mindedness. In the Early Learning Centre (Nursery, Pre-K, and Kindergarten), children learn in a nurturing, child-centred environment grounded in research-informed early learning philosophies. Teaching balances developmental goals with clear academic standards, supporting cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth while fostering curiosity, confidence, and a love of discovery from the earliest years. The Elementary School builds strong foundations in both academic learning and personal development. Teachers create safe, flexible, and inclusive environments where students are encouraged to think independently, take ownership of their learning, and view mistakes as opportunities for growth. Social and emotional wellbeing is central, ensuring students develop self-awareness, resilience, and readiness for increasingly complex intellectual challenges. In Middle School, learning is structured through a rotating block schedule that promotes depth of study, with daily Humanities classes and extended lesson periods across subjects. Advisory sessions provide consistent pastoral support. Learning is further enriched through an extended campus programme, where students explore diverse regions across Japan—bringing the curriculum to life through real-world, experiential learning that strengthens relationships and global understanding. At High School, students benefit from a broad and flexible academic offering, including a wide range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses and the AP Capstone Diploma. Additional opportunities include university-level courses through Syracuse University Project Advance (SUPA) and global online learning via the Global Online Academy (GOA). These pathways allow students to engage in advanced inquiry, research, and collaboration while developing cultural competence and preparing for success at leading universities worldwide.
