About Us
Principal's Welcome
We have a strong commitment to quality education supported by a dedicated learning community. We have been a fully authorized IB world school since 2007 and utilise the Primary Years Programme (PYP) as our curriculum framework. The school was evaluated most recently in May 2020 to high acclaim.
School Profile
School Mission
Through a positive learning environment, the Japanese International School respects the diversity of its community and provides quality education by empowering students to think, create, discover, solve problems, become responsible citizens, and achieve their personal best.
Our Vision
To create educated, creative, compassionate, active and empowered citizens of the world.
Our Core Values
After thoughtful collaboration with staff, students, and parents, the JIS community came together to identify the core values that unite us and inspire us to grow. These values reflect who we are as a school and what we strive to achieve every day. Represented by three key words—Kindness, Commitment, and Respect—they help guide our actions, shape our learning, and strengthen our community. While they complement the I.B. Learner Profile and attitudes, these values are unique to our school and are woven into our daily lives to help us improve and grow together.
Kindness
to all, to the world around us, to help, to support, to offer encouragement, to be open minded, to be fair
Commitment
to make a difference, to stay resilient and strong through adversity, to persevere in our learning, to develop, to improve, to move forwards
Respect
for each other, our relationships, our surroundings, the environment, our learning
