About this school
Aichi International School (AIS) in Nagoya grew out of Nagoya International Preschool, founded in 2000 after an early-childhood English programme at a daycare centre near Kamiyashiro Station. AIS moved into its purpose-built campus in 2006 and celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2026; its first elementary class graduated in 2012. It is a private school accredited by WASC, one of a limited number in the Nagoya area.
AIS offers two programmes:
- Kindergarten (ages 3–5), a fully immersive English programme
- Elementary School (Grades 1–6), a bilingual programme in English and Japanese
The school stresses that it is not an English-only American-style school: it values each child's identity and aims for genuine bilingual ability, along with communication skills, self-confidence and respect for others. Its mission is to develop globally minded citizens with knowledge and integrity.
The campus faces Nijigaoka Park and has 12 classrooms, a library, a concert hall, open learning spaces, heated floors and a courtyard. School life includes events such as school fairs and information sessions.
