Our mission statement is to raise leaders who will succeed in the global society. We pride ourselves in Japanese – English bilingual education and treat Japanese language and culture with huge value. Although English is the official language within the academy, our children have regular Japanese classes and can read and write Japanese at a higher level than other children of the same age.

We have a low student-to-teacher ratio, which enables our teachers to focus more attention on each student in order to cultivate their individuality and creativity.
We also have a Curriculum Lab consisting of full-time class teachers and specialized curriculum developers who are constantly working to implement the most effective and up-to-date curriculum and teaching methods. The Curriculum Lab ensures that the school curriculum is taught to a certain standard throughout all the campuses and provides training for the ongoing professional development of all teachers.
