About this school
Okinawa Christian School International (OCSI) was established in 1957 to give the children of evangelical missionaries a Christ-centred education. It moved to a larger site in Urasoe in 1965, where its first class graduated in 1969. The missionary founders opened the school to children of any religious background. OCSI bought its current campus in Yomitan in 1996 and has taught there since the 1996–97 school year.
Today OCSI serves more than 580 students from kindergarten through Grade 12, divided into elementary, middle and high school. Classes are taught in English using an American-style, Bible-based curriculum, with a 180-day year in two semesters. The school is accredited by WASC and ACSI, most recently in spring 2024, which allows graduates to apply to English-taught programmes at Japanese universities and to colleges in the US and elsewhere.
OCSI is registered in Japan as an incorporated educational institution and a miscellaneous school. Student life includes athletics, after-school activities, counselling, and bus, lunch and after-school care services.
