About this school
Doshisha International School, Kyoto (DISK) was established in 2011 as part of Doshisha International Academy (DIA) in Kizugawa City and belongs to the Doshisha family of schools. Its framework rests on Doshisha's three founding principles of Christianity, liberalism and internationalism, and its motto is "Learning for Life, Learning for the World, Learning for Love".
DISK teaches an international curriculum in English. It is an IB World School offering the Diploma Programme, and its middle school curriculum is aligned with the IB Middle Years Programme; the IB Learner Profile serves as the school-wide learning outcomes. The school is accredited by WASC. On the same campus, DIA Elementary School is a separate Japanese Article 1 school that combines the national curriculum with the IB PYP, taught half in English and half in Japanese.
The campus lies in the Keihanna Hills area of Kansai Science City, between Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. It has a library of nearly 20,000 English and Japanese books and a chapel used for morning services. The school emphasises small classes and close student–teacher relationships.
