Osaka International School of Kwansei Gakuin

Osaka International School of Kwansei Gakuin (OIS) was founded in 1991 and is widely regarded as one of the premier international schools in the Kansai region. It was the first school in Japan to be authorized by the International Baccalaureate (IB) to offer all three programs: the Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme, and Diploma Programme. The school is unique for its 'Two Schools Together' philosophy, sharing a campus and many facilities with Senri International School (SIS), a Japanese private school. This integration allows students from both schools to interact through shared music, physical education, and extracurricular activities, fostering deep intercultural exchange.

The school's mission focuses on developing informed, caring, and creative individuals who contribute to a global society. The student body is diverse, representing over 30 nationalities, and the faculty is primarily recruited from overseas. OIS is located in the quiet residential area of Minoh, providing a safe and conducive environment for learning. Notable for its high academic standards and holistic approach, the school also boasts excellent facilities, including a 25-meter swimming pool, a large theater, and specialized science laboratories.
