International Christian Academy of Nagoya (ICAN)

International Christian Academy of Nagoya (ICAN) was established in 1991 to provide a high-quality, North American-style education within a Christian framework. While located just across the border in Nagakute, it is the primary international school serving the Christian community and expatriates in the Nagoya metropolitan area. The school is a member of the Network of International Christian Schools (NICS) and attracts families seeking a value-based education for their children.

The curriculum is modeled after US standards and is designed to prepare students for North American colleges and universities. ICAN offers a range of Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the high school years, allowing students to earn college credit. The school emphasizes small class sizes, fostering a close-knit community where teachers can provide personalized attention to each student's academic and spiritual growth.

Notable for its diverse student body representing over 20 nationalities, ICAN places a strong emphasis on character development and community service. The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), ensuring that its diplomas are recognized globally.
