About this school
Ascot International School Japan opened its Early Years section in January 2018 in the Kanokodai area of Kita-ku, Kobe, near Sanda. It joined the Cambridge International network in May 2022 and is also accredited by WASC. The school describes itself as the only K–13 Cambridge International School and Cambridge testing centre in western Kansai.
The programme runs from Early Years through Primary, Lower Secondary and Upper Secondary, following a curriculum aligned with the English National Curriculum and leading to IGCSE and A Level examinations. Classes are kept to 15 students or fewer, with differentiated teaching, outdoor learning and Japanese language lessons. A supplementary strand focuses on nature and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The campus covers more than five acres, including about four acres of woodland used for a nature school, plus an artificial-turf football pitch and a gymnasium. Separate boys' and girls' dormitories for secondary students are within walking distance. Staff come from six continents and students from more than 15 cultural backgrounds. School buses run to Sannomiya, Rokko Island, Sumiyoshi, Mikage, Takarazuka and Sanda.
