Welcome to Abroad International School Osaka.
As Head of School, it is a privilege to welcome prospective and returning families to our vibrant community. At AIS Osaka, our purpose is simple yet transformative: to develop confident, lifelong learners.
To achieve this goal, we design our learning journey with the end in mind. As an IB Continuum School, the principles, character values, and skills our students graduate within the IB Diploma Programme (DP) inform everything we do starting from age one. Our seamless educational pathway combines the UK Early Years Foundation Stage (ages 1–3), the IB Primary Years Programme (ages 3–11), the IB Middle Years Programme (ages 11–16), and the IB Diploma Programme (ages 16–18).
Our programme empowers our students so they become multilingual,inquiring,open-minded and respectful of all cultures. Through balanced reflection and risk taking, our learners will be able to communicate, develop knowledge and pass on positive principles for the benefit of both themselves and others. 
Located in the dynamic heart of Kansai, our learning extends far beyond the classroom walls. We actively make use of the rich cultural heritage, innovation, and global spirit of Osaka—using our region as a living laboratory to spark inquiry, deepen local connections, and foster true global-mindedness. Paired with our low student-to-teacher ratio and individual focus on progress, we ensure every student receives a personalized education in a safe, supportive environment. Seeing our students arrive with a smile and grow into better versions of themselves every single day is what drives us.
In every activity, event, or conversation, we act with compassion, responsibility, and respect—always placing our students at the center of everything we do.
Whether you are taking your child’s first steps into early education or preparing them for university, I invite you to explore our website and discover how our dedicated, caring teachers can inspire their learning journey. 
Warm regards,
