Enishi International School
Enishi International School is a relatively young and rapidly growing institution located in the Nishi Ward of Nagoya. It is authorized as an IB World School for the Primary Years Programme (PYP), reflecting its commitment to a modern, inquiry-based approach to learning. The school name 'Enishi' refers to the Japanese concept of fate or connection, highlighting the school's focus on building strong community ties and global connections.
The school caters to a highly diverse student body, with many families from the local international business community. The curriculum is designed to stimulate curiosity and foster critical thinking, with a heavy emphasis on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics). The language of instruction is English, but there is significant support for Japanese language development to help students integrate into the local culture.
Enishi is known for its innovative use of space and technology in the classroom. The faculty is composed of experienced international educators who focus on social-emotional learning alongside academic rigor. The school is currently expanding its facilities and age range to accommodate the growing demand for international education in the western part of the city.
