Updates and School Culture

At OWIS Japan, we reflect on our journey and the transformative steps we’ve taken at OWIS Osaka and OWIS Tsukuba. By revitalising unused buildings, we’ve not only constructed new educational facilities but also fostered vibrant communities and innovative educational cultures. Our schools offer unique, region-leading educational experiences, and we are excited about the future developments that await.
