About OWIS

Our Learning Focus

One World International School (OWIS) provides K-12 education across eight global campuses, including multiple locations in Japan.

Globally, our curriculum is grounded in inquiry-based learning and delivered in English within a diverse international setting.

At OWIS, we combine rigorous academics with a student-centred approach, incorporating Montessori principles and engaging teaching methods that enhance learning outcomes by focusing on students’ strengths.

Our curriculum emphasises collaboration, social interaction, and teamwork, making learning both enjoyable and memorable. This holistic approach prepares our students to be the leaders of tomorrow, ensuring they are well-equipped for the challenges of an interconnected world.

One of the first things you will learn about OWIS is that we are passionate about providing every child with an exceptional education, beginning in their early childhood and extending until they complete secondary school

We can help your child by:

Offering them a learning environment where they are supported by dedicated and expert educators who are thoughtful and experienced.

Encouraging them to challenge themselves and continue to work toward their goals by providing them with a best in class curriculum.

Allowing them to explore their interests through a variety of extra-curricular programmes.

Teaching them to socialise with their peers and allowing them to learn to be respectful and empathetic of people of all backgrounds.

OWIS Model

Our interactive learning environment is ideal for students to explore their individual interests and work towards their future career goals.

The well-designed and progressive International curricula will allow mid-term joining from other international schools to blend in with their new surroundings and socialise with their peers.

The OWIS Story

OWIS is proud to be part of the Global Schools Group, which is a non-profit organisation that was founded in 2002 with the goal of providing high-quality education to students around the world.
