Fukuoka International Baptist School (FIBS)

Fukuoka International Baptist School (FIBS) has served the Fukuoka community for over 50 years, providing a Christ-centered education within an international framework. The school follows a traditional North American curriculum, emphasizing core academic subjects alongside spiritual development. It caters primarily to the children of missionaries, expatriates, and local families seeking a values-based education in English.

FIBS operates as a smaller, close-knit community where individual attention is a priority. The philosophy of the school is to train the 'whole child'—academically, physically, socially, and spiritually. Because of its smaller size, the school offers a family-like atmosphere that many parents find supportive for children transitioning to life in Japan.

The school is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). While it is more modest in its facilities compared to larger international schools, it is well-regarded for its high moral standards and the dedication of its teaching staff. It remains one of the more affordable international schooling options in the Fukuoka metropolitan area.
