It is a non-profit K-12 school administered by the Kwansei Gakuin Educational Foundation, which also runs a university, and it was the first school in Japan to offer all three IB programmes. It is accredited by WASC and is a member of CIS, JCIS and EARCOS.
OIS follows the IB Primary Years Programme in elementary school, the Middle Years Programme in middle school and the Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12, all taught in English.
