Jinseki International School

JINIS is located in Japan and an ‘Article 1’ international school, where learning happens in both English and Japanese.

We are an English immersion school, where most classes are taught in the English language. We also teach through the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and are currently working to complete our accreditation process.

The Mission of Jinseki International School is to inspire a love for learning and sense of belonging for children from around the world in a warm family atmosphere. We promote the traditional Japanese values of respect, responsibility, honesty and politeness coupled with an appreciation for the natural world. We strive to meet the individual needs and aspirations of our pupils, preparing them to be become responsible global citizens having formed friendships for life.

For our community to offer the passion, skills and personal qualities to make a positive contribution in the world.

Our curriculum integrates the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) (in the process of applying) with the Japanese curriculum guide-lines. 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.

The core objective of JINIS TIME is to, through cross-curricular learning experience, foster children’s enquiry, active-learning and problem-solving skills. In JINIS TIME, children ‘learn how to learn’, and actively, creatively and collaboratively explore the world. This will nurture children’s self-reflective qualities. JINIS TIME is based on the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), and our Project-Based Learning Programme and Nature Programme, such as the Farm Activities, are also part of the curriculum.

The physical education programme at JINIS takes a holistic approach. It aims to steer children to build the foundation of leading healthy, active life through their participation in various physical activities and learning about health and safety. The programme will support children to maintain their health and build up their physical strengths, as well as develop a positive attitude towards everyday life. In addition to usual P.E. lessons, children will enjoy cycling and swimming in the Spring Term, golf in the Autumn Term and skiing/skating in the Winter Term. Through participating in these sport activities, children will learn about healthy competition, sportsmanship, teamwork and importance of rules and tactics.
