“Selected as one of the best international schools in Asia by Newsweek and accredited through partner schools including Laurel Springs School in the State of California, USA, KAIS students graduate with an American diploma, enabling them to easily pursue university education anywhere in the world.
Upon acceptance into KAIS, students and their parents will create a learning contract with their educational goals with KAIS staff, and decide the duration and focus of their secondary education.
The school caters to “a student body composed primarily of bicultural students, native English-speaking students, returnees and special needs students” and “Japanese students with exceptional English abilities, who are planning to attend university abroad”. In fact, the school website bills itself as “the premium high school for returnees” and “the only Junior and Senior High school in Japan designed specifically for small interactive classes”, that is “uniquely aware of many international students’ gifted abilities, special needs, and educational hurdles”.
Strong selling points of the school:
The curriculum is supplemented by its own programs specifically designed to prepare students for the schedule and academic scope of university life abroad: SAT, TOEFL, and STEP TEST preparation classes, specialized writing program, College Admissions Essay workshops, and a wide range of developmental and honors (advanced) classes.
Integrated technology: KAIS provides one MacBook computer per student – KAIS students use Apple MacBooks as technology is integrated into all programs.
An outstanding faculty and staff completely composed of teachers who have been working with the Tokyo multicultural and returnee community for years, and given its affiliation with its sister school, Kikokushijo Academy (see Japan Times article on why the school was formed).
Individualized study. Students can propose their own projects and class schedules and work at their own pace. This level of individualized study allows each student to thrive at the level that is right for them. Advanced students may be allowed to take a variety of university classes and gain college credit. KAIS says it is possible at KAIS, for a highly-motivated student to graduate high school in as little as 2 years.ame time, the school also provides support for students who need a lot of guidance, aiding them on their road to graduation, even if it takes 6 years.
In many schools, large class sizes prevent many students from feeling included; often, the highest level students and the lowest level students are left out of the learning process. At KAIS, no student will be pushed or left behind as a result of large classes. Traditional lectures are combined with personalized lab time which allows each student to complete their courses at the pace that best suits them.
The school says it “creates high school graduates who are effective writers, verbose speakers, and respected members of the international community”. Creative Electives will bring out the creativity and ideas in KAIS students, allowing them to pursue projects from film/video to poetry writing workshops to photography and music.
