Jinseki International School

JINIS is more than that since it also provides a bilingual Japanese-English education with respect for the two languages and the strengths of the different educational curricula and cultures that go with them. In this, it draws upon the experience of a number of international schools and particularly of Institut Le Rosey in Switzerland where I was Head for 17 years. I am proud to be associated with this ground-breaking initiative.

JINIS is a school that prepares children for life in so many ways. Whilst ensuring that the highest academic standards are achieved, children grow socially and emotionally in a caring and special boarding environment. The School is intentionally small in order to cater for each child’s personal needs and they grow to understand that learning comes in all shapes and sizes.

JINIS opened in April 2020 as the country’s first full Junior boarding school, giving children from Japan and other Asian countries the experience and intellectual curiosity they need to be successful on a global stage.
The school’s faculty and staff, including house parents, work around the clock to meet the potential of each child.
JINIS is committed to providing children with the foundational skills and mindset to create their own futures in a rapidly changing world.

We also have a farm programme that includes safety and disaster prevention education in anature-rich environment, and a boarding programme that incorporates learning into every aspect of life,such as food education and consumer education by taking advantage of the boarding school environment.
