Personalised, Student-Centered Learning
The Inquiry-based project work allows students to focus on their strengths, pursue their passions, and direct their own educational journey.
Also, our optimal class sizes of 18 or less ensure every student receives the individual attention they need to achieve their full potential.
Kind & Inclusive Environment
Step into an immersive international environment where multiculturalism is celebrated, providing a truly global perspective for your child’s education.
Our culture of kindness, inclusivity, and community as well as our comprehensive student support services, help everyone at OWIS Osaka feel a sense of belonging and school identity.
Certified, Experienced, & IB-Trained Teachers
All our faculty are certified with teaching qualifications of bachelors or higher, are experienced in delivering education, and have been trained in the IB method.
OWIS teachers are trained to assist students not just to progress academically but also to develop socially, emotionally, and personally.
Balanced Curricula
We offer Inquiry-based International education which prioritises excellence in academics and overall value-based development.
1) Inquiry-based – Our students get the chance to ask questions, explore their curiosities, and engage with ideas through real-world and role-play scenarios, testing hypotheses by doing things themselves and seeing the application of what they learn.
2) Student-driven – our curriculum encourages students to take ownership of their learning, allowing them to focus on their individual strengths and passions, enhancing problem-solving, calculated risk-taking & self-confidence, resulting in overall better learning outcomes.
3) Rigorous – Our curriculum takes the best from the UK, Australia, & North American schools. We incorporate structured learning alongside project-based activities, and students must receive a passing grade to advance. This prepares students not only to succeed in their future academic and career goals but also to succeed anywhere in the world and in life.
4) Holistic – Our curriculum is structured in a way that focuses on the overall development of the student by encouraging traits in the learner profile, and our extensive afterschool programme provides further opportunities for skill acquisition, exploring passions, & personal development.

See What Parents Have to Say About Our Campus
“Sei is so happy and exhausted every day!! Thank you for your sincere support and encouragement.”
“I'm glad my daughter was able to enjoy school every day and spend her time fully engaged in daily activities.”
"My son has gotten completely used to it and loves OWIS so much that he's really looking forward to going back after the winter break, saying, "I want to go early!”
"The school bus has been really helpful. Thank you so much for arranging a great bus company and for the schedule adjustments."
"Our daughter, who entered the school just two months ago, has greatly improved her English expression skills. She is happy to go to OWIS every day, and I agree with the educational philosophy of OWIS."
"Thank you to all the teachers for helping Walter adapt to the life of an international school, teaching him a lot of knowledge, especially improving his English. We are also happy to see that OWIS is getting better and better with your efforts. We will continue to recommend OWIS to our friends."
“Thank you, Principal. You have led OWIS to complete a great business, and we are very optimistic about the future of OWIS. Thank you for your help to Walter, helping him adapt to the life of an international school and improve his English.”
“I really like the teachers here, they are always smiling and are really kind, and it's great to see that they hold a lot of our family’s values, my kids also seem to really enjoy his Teacher mentorship style. My children have started the PYP curriculum and are learning lots of things that I wish I learned as a kid. My child loves the gardening classes, the school pet and anything to do with nature. We love to see that the education is very tangible and hands-on.”
“OWIS’s legacy and big brand presence was a focal point for us. Our son has really enjoyed the strong exposure to science, and today I saw his presentation on economics, he knows so much more about economics than even I do not know and he is just 10 years old!“
“My favourite thing about OWIS is the freedom, my son looks very happy and free. He is particularly enjoying the science and gardening classes.”
“As parents, we carry the aspiration to gift our children with opportunities that surpass our own experiences. Growing up, I was fortunate to receive a quality education, but OWIS has elevated this to a global standard that I could only have dreamed of. The school’s commitment to fostering not just academic excellence but also cultural empathy and environmental stewardship is commendable. As I reflect on the education I received, I realise that OWIS is not just providing an education for the present but is preparing our children for a future where they can thrive and contribute positively to the world.”
“At OWIS, our children are not just students; they are young global citizens. They are learning to navigate the complexities of our interconnected world with grace and confidence. The school’s diverse community has become a second family, offering a warm and inclusive environment where our children are valued and heard.”
“The curriculum at OWIS is both challenging and enriching, encouraging our children to push boundaries and explore new horizons. The dedicated staff and state-of-the-art facilities contribute to an atmosphere where learning is a joy and curiosity is nurtured.”

As part of our UOI (Unit of Inquiry) class, we implemented the "Tuning In & Finding Out" phase ✨
(UOI, or Unit of Inquiry, is a core component of the International Baccalaureate Curriculum)
The theme was: How does imagination help us understand different perspectives?
Students first explored the provocation corner, where various stimuli sparked their imagination 💡
They then created expressive artworks using painting, clay modelling, and 3D recycled materials, experimenting with different forms of self-expression.
Through a gallery walk, they provided feedback using the TAG method (Tell something you like, Ask a question, Give a suggestion) 🤝
This lesson helped students recognise the power of imagination and develop a deeper appreciation for their classmates’ perspectives and ideas 😊
—----------------------------------------------
UOI授業の一環として「Tuning In & Finding Out（同調と発見）」というプログラムを実施しました✨
（UOIとは、国際バカロレアプログラムにおける「探求ユニット」という授業のことです。）
テーマは「想像力は、他者の視点を理解するのにどう役立つか」
生徒たちは、まずプロボケーションコーナーで様々な刺激を受け、想像力を掻き立てました💡
そして絵画、粘土細工、3Dリサイクル素材を使用した創造性あふれる作品を制作。
様々な表現方法を通して、自分自身を表現することに挑戦しました。
さらに、ギャラリーウォークでTAG（Tell something you like, Ask a question, Give a suggestion）を使い、お互いの作品にフィードバック🤝
この授業を通して、生徒たちは想像力の大切さを再認識し、クラスメイトの視点や考え方に対する理解を深めることができました😊

Grade 3 Excursion Fun at Hattori Ryokuchi Park 🌳✨
One major highlight was visiting the Open-Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses located within the park 🏠
Students had the fantastic opportunity to see authentic, traditional homes from different regions of Japan
This excursion directly supported our inquiry into “How We Express Ourselves,” as the students learned firsthand how culture, environment, and history influence how people live and build their homes
After soaking in the cultural insights, it was time for some energy release with a friendly and spirited soccer match between House Teams at the park`s futsal court! ⚽️
This activity fostered teamwork, sportsmanship, and physical well-being, connecting perfectly with our “Who We Are” theme, which explores physical and social development 🤝
Before heading back, the students enjoyed valuable time at the playground!
They built friendships, developed gross motor skills, and practised essential self-management skills like taking turns and playing safely 😊
What a fantastic excursion filled with discovery, learning, and friendship!

3年生が服部緑地公園へ遠足に行ってきました🌳✨
ハイライトの一つは、公園内にある日本民家集落博物館の見学🏠
日本各地の伝統的な古民家を実際に見る貴重な機会となりました。
これは、UOI授業の「How We Express Ourselves（どのように自己表現するか）」に繋がり、文化や環境、歴史が人々の暮らしや住まいにどのように影響を与えるかを深く学ぶことができました。
文化的な学びに続いては、フットサルコートでハウスチーム対抗のサッカー試合⚽️
みんなでエネルギッシュに、汗を流しながら、チームワークやスポーツマンシップ、心身の健やかさを育みました。
これはUOI授業の「Who We Are（私たちは誰なのか）」で学んだ、心と体の発達や社会性とも関連しています🤝
最後は公園の遊具で思いっきり遊びました！
友情を育み、体をたくさん動かし、順番を守ったり安全に遊んだりする自己管理能力も実践できました😊
学びと発見、そして友情が深まった、最高の遠足になりました！

🎨 Grade 1 Students Created Signs for the Spring Carnival 🎨
The cookie booth at our recent Spring Carnival featured signs made by none other than our Grade 1 students! ✨
As part of their UOI lesson on "Signs and Symbols," they created signs and advertisements to explore how visual communication captures attention, provides information, and influences decision-making 😊
(UOI refers to the "Units of Inquiry" in the International Baccalaureate programme.)
By exploring concepts such as clarity, symbolism, and purpose, students gained a deeper understanding of the role signs play in communication and organisation.
On the day of the Spring Carnival, the students took charge of the cookie stall and sold with smiles all day!
Through hands-on activities, they enhanced their grasp of these ideas.
Our school places great value on practical experiences that enrich student learning 🌱

先日開催されたスプリングカーニバルのクッキー販売ブースの看板、実はGrade 1の生徒たちが制作しました✨
1年生は、UOI授業の一環として「Signs and Symbols」というテーマで、看板、広告などを作成しました。
（UOI（Unit of Inquiry）とは、国際バカロレアプログラムにおける「探求ユニット」という授業のことです。）
このプロジェクトを通して、看板が私たちの生活の中でどのように注意を引き、情報を提供し、購買意欲を刺激するかを学びました😊
また、明確さ、象徴性、目的といった概念を応用することで、生徒たちはコミュニケーションや組織におけるサインの重要性を体感！
スプリングカーニバル当日には、生徒たちは自分たちでクッキー販売ブースを担当し、一日中笑顔で販売してくれました！
実践的な学びを通して、物事の本質をより深く理解することができました。

At OWIS, our students have embarked on an exciting new Unit of Inquiry (UOI): "How We Organise Ourselves." 🏡💡
( UOI refers to the "Units of Inquiry" in the International Baccalaureate programme.)
Under this theme, we explored the smallest unit of society—our families!
Through an interactive organisational chart, students examined:
✅ Types of families 👨👩👧👦👩👩👦👦👨👦
✅ The meaning of family
✅ Questions they have about family ❓
✅ The benefits of a healthy family 💪
✅ How understanding families helps them stay organised 📋
This activity helped students develop empathy as they learned about different family structures, from single-parent and adoptive families to childless households. Most importantly, they discovered the value of kindness and understanding in our diverse world. 🌏
If you are interested in our Unit of Inquiry (UOI) lessons then we run a `project-based learning through inquiry` event here at our school every two months.
This is a chance for your child to experience inquiry-based learning in practice.
We look forward to your attendance!

OWISでは、生徒たちが新しいUOI授業「How We Organise Ourselves（組織のあり方について）」が始まりました🏡💡
（UOIとは、国際バカロレアプログラムにおける「探求ユニット」という授業のことです。）
今回は社会の最小単位である「家族」について学習しました！
組織図を活用し、生徒たちは以下の内容について調べました！
✅ 家族のタイプ 👨👩👧👦👩👩👦👦👨👦
✅ 家族の意味
✅ 家族についての質問 ❓
✅ 健康な家族の利点 💪
✅ 家族を理解することがどのように組織化に役立つか 📋
この授業を通し、生徒たちは共感力を育むことができました。
片親の家庭や養子縁組の家庭、子供のいない家庭まで、さまざまな家族構造について学びました。
最も重要なことは、多様な世界において思いやりと理解しようとする姿勢が大切だと学習したことです🌏
このようなUOI授業に興味がある方は、UOIを体験できる、「Project-based learning through Inquiry」をというイベントを2ヶ月に1回開催していますので、ぜひご参加ください！
お子様が実際に、探究型学習を体験できるチャンスです。

At OWIS, our students have embarked on an exciting new Unit of Inquiry (UOI): "How We Organise Ourselves." 🏡💡
( UOI refers to the "Units of Inquiry" in the International Baccalaureate programme.)
Under this theme, we explored the smallest unit of society—our families!
Through an interactive organisational chart, students examined:
✅ Types of families 👨👩👧👦👩👩👦👦👨👦
✅ The meaning of family
✅ Questions they have about family ❓
✅ The benefits of a healthy family 💪
✅ How understanding families helps them stay organised 📋
This activity helped students develop empathy as they learned about different family structures, from single-parent and adoptive families to childless households. Most importantly, they discovered the value of kindness and understanding in our diverse world. 🌏

The EC/KA classes went on a field trip to Harvest Hill! 🚌✨
This field trip had a special purpose.
It was to deepen the knowledge and ideas gained in the previous lessons, ""How We Express Ourselves"" to our new class ""Sharing the Planet,"" through real-life experiences!
At Harvest Hill, everyone kneaded clay and tried their hand at creating unique Haniwa (ancient Japanese clay figures)!
Many wonderful works were born, each reflecting the children`s individual imaginations. It was truly a practical lesson in ""expression!”
They also had a chance to interact with adorable animals! 🐑
The children`s eyes sparkled more than usual as they faced real nature and animals.♫
It was a day full of discoveries and learning that couldn`t be gained from textbooks alone.
And we made a lot of wonderful memories! 😊

EC・KAクラスがハーベストの丘へ行ってきました🚌✨
今回の遠足は、特別な目的がありました。
それは、以前行った授業「How We Express Ourselves（私たちはどのように自分自身を表現するか）」と「Sharing the Planet（地球との共存）」で得た知識や考え方を、実体験を通してさらに深めること！
ハーベストの丘では、みんなで粘土をこねて、個性豊かなハニワ作りに挑戦！
一人ひとりの想像力が光る、素敵な作品がたくさん生まれました。まさに「表現する」学びの実践です！
そして、愛い動物たちとのふれあい体験も🐑
実際の自然や動物たちを目の前にして、子どもたちの目はいつも以上にキラキラ輝いていました♫
教科書だけでは得られない、たくさんの発見と学びがあった一日。
最高の思い出もたくさんできました😊
