Updates and School Culture

Here at OWIS Japan, we think about all the major strides that we have taken and we often think about how far the company has come. In both the case of OWIS Osaka and OWIS Tsukuba, major renovations were needed to the buildings structure and campus facilities. We have taken old, unused buildings and breathed new life into them. We have not just built new schools, but new communities, a new culture, and a new way of living and learning for our students. We provide something that no other school in the region provides, and we are only just getting started.

On this page you can see all the major developments for our school in the following areas:
