About this school
Horizon Japan International School (HJIS) is a co-educational international school founded in 2003 in central Yokohama, near the waterfront. Its present campus, completed in 2019, is a short walk from Yokohama Station and about 30 minutes by train from central Tokyo, and school bus routes serve families across Kanagawa and Tokyo.
HJIS is an IB World School authorised for the Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes, giving a continuous IB pathway from the Early Years Programme (ages 3–5) through Elementary, Middle and High School to Grade 12. The school highlights service learning across all three programmes, expeditions, athletics, art and design, after-school programmes and a summer school. Counselling, student check-ins and safeguarding procedures support student wellbeing.
The school reports more than 520 students from over 45 nationalities, a student–teacher ratio of about 6:1 and an average IB Diploma score of 34. Its website lists accreditation and membership with CIS, WASC and the Japan Council of International Schools. The community includes an active PTA and an alumni club, and the school offers a daycare service.
