Transfer studies
Why Short Program?
In recent years, parents' attitudes towards their children's education have undergone significant changes. There is growing interest in nurturing talent capable of thriving in the international community, with increasing attention to admissions to top universities abroad and International Baccalaureate (IB) education. However, due to social circumstances such as a strong yen and rising costs, many families are finding themselves forced to forego studying abroad.
OIS's short-term programs are perfect for such families. At OIS, which combines the beautiful nature of Okinawa with the world-class education of the International Baccalaureate, we offer your child an opportunity for global learning.
- Emphasis on Curiosity Over Language Skills: There are no special classes focused solely on learning English. Instead, students participate in OIS's regular classes and engage in interdisciplinary inquiry-based learning.
- Experience the Essence of International Baccalaureate Education:Foster curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, and develop the ability to learn independently.
- A global perspective and future outlook:Acquire the skills necessary to thrive in the international community and broaden future career opportunities.
