Accredited American Online High School for Families in Japan
Many families in Japan want stronger English, global pathways, and a US-style diploma, but international school seats can be limited and expensive.
International Schooling is accredited by Cognia and WASC in the United States. Our American High School Diploma and transcripts support admissions in Japan and worldwide—without needing to move schools or cities.
Balance School, Juku, Clubs & Family Time—Without Burnout
Traditional schooling in Japan often means long days, club activities, and cram school (juku), leaving little time for rest, creativity, or family.
Choose One-to-One Learning for flexibility or Group Learning with JST-friendly scheduling—so students can balance academics, juku, hobbies, and family time with a healthier routine.
Built for Bilingual Learners, Returnees, and Expats
Children in Japan often grow up between languages—Japanese, English, and others—and need a school that understands bilingual learning and mobility.
Ideal for bilingual learners, kikokushijo (returnee children), and expat families. Our teachers support multilingual learners with clear instruction and structured guidance, helping students thrive in English-medium academics and transition smoothly if families move.
Ideal for Globally Mobile Professionals
Families in Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and other cities may relocate frequently and struggle to keep one stable curriculum.
Our fully online, accredited American program travels with you—your child stays in the same school and progression plan wherever you move.
Safe, Comfortable Learning from Home
Crowded commutes, strict rules, and social pressure can be stressful for some learners in Japan.
Students learn from home with small live classes, supportive teachers, and a structured routine—without daily commuting stress.
Clear Progress & Communication for Parents
Parents sometimes feel they don’t get enough visibility into learning and progress.
Families get a parent dashboard, regular progress updates, and Parent–Teacher Meetings to stay involved at every step.
Learning Programs
One-to-One, Group Learning, or Self-Paced—choose what fits best.
