About this school
The Japanese International School (JIS) in Tai Po has offered international education in Hong Kong since 1997. The school is run by Hong Kong Japanese School Limited and has two sections on its Tai Po campus: a Japanese Section that follows the Japanese national curriculum, and this English-medium International Section.
The International Section is an IB World School teaching the Primary Years Programme to children up to the age of 12, from Reception to the end of primary. The school describes its approach as personalised and bilingual. Its core values are kindness, commitment and respect, which sit alongside the IB learner profile.
Regular outdoor learning, excursions and yearly camps are part of school life, with an emphasis on sustainability and student action, including an optional at-home skills programme called the Young Buds Award. JIS describes itself as a small school and was named Primary School of the Year at the Hong Kong Education Awards 2021.
