Message from the Founding Head of School: Welcoming a New Era of Learning at One World International School in Tsukuba
As the Founding Head of School, it is my great pleasure to introduce our new educational community. We are excited to open our doors for our first full academic year starting in August 2025.
Our vision is to offer comprehensive, inquiry-based K-12 education. We will begin with grades K-5 and plan to add a grade each year as we grow. Our mission is to provide an environment where every child is known, valued, and appreciated, fostering their unique talents, interests, and aspirations through a holistic educational approach.…”

Innovation in Academics
We blend globally recognised curricula with research-backed teaching practices, immersive STEM education, and the purposeful integration of technology. This ensures students not only master core subjects but also develop the critical thinking and future-ready skills needed to thrive in a dynamic world.
Nurturing School Environment
Our inclusive, respectful, and empowering environment makes every student feel seen, heard, and supported. Through a blend of cultural diversity, personalised care, and strong parent partnerships, we foster not just academic growth, but emotional well-being and a strong sense of belonging.
Leadership Development
At OWIS Tsukuba, leadership is nurtured from the inside out. With a personalised, inquiry-driven approach and a strong emphasis on emotional intelligence, we help students become confident, self-aware individuals who lead with empathy, integrity, and a clear sense of purpose.
Connectivity & Global Network
Our global network opens doors to enriching student exchange programmes, cross-campus virtual projects, and meaningful collaboration with peers across continents. We prepare students for a global workforce by promoting international-mindedness, cross-cultural communication, and adaptability.
