Nagoya International Junior and Senior High School

Nagoya International Junior and Senior High School (NIHS) is part of the Kurimoto Educational Institute, which also oversees the Nagoya University of Commerce and Business (NUCB). Located in the heart of Nagoya's Naka Ward, the school offers a unique blend of Japanese educational standards and international perspectives. It is a pioneer in the region for integrating the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) into a Japanese school setting.

The school operates two main tracks: the International Class, which follows the IB DP and is primarily taught in English, and the General track, which follows the Japanese national curriculum while maintaining a strong focus on English language proficiency. This dual approach makes it an attractive choice for Japanese returnees and international students who want to maintain their cultural roots while preparing for global higher education.

NIHS is known for its modern urban campus and its strong emphasis on leadership and business education, leveraging its connection to NUCB. Students benefit from exchange programs and a highly academic environment that focuses on critical thinking and intercultural understanding.
