Creating a vibrant school experience where students thrive in a nurturing environment, form lasting friendships, explore new interests, and develop the skills needed to succeed both academically and personally.
Every Friday, our school houses—Byakko, Seiryu, Gembu, and Suzaku—come together for lively assemblies that foster community spirit and celebrate student achievements. These gatherings provide a platform for showcasing student work and presentations, allowing learners to share their creativity and efforts with peers.
During assemblies, we take time to celebrate wins and acknowledge students for their important accomplishments, reinforcing our school spirit and culture words. We also tally up the points accrued over the week in our friendly house competition, culminating in the announcement of the weekly house winners. This exciting tradition encourages teamwork and camaraderie while nurturing a strong sense of belonging within our school community.
Through these weekly assemblies, we strengthen our school culture, promote engagement, and create lasting memories together as a united school family.
At our school, learning extends far beyond the classroom. We believe that co-curricular activities—including trips, excursions, electives, and after-school athletics clubs—are vital for the students’ holistic development. These experiences offer students the chance to apply what they’ve learned in class to real-world situations, explore new interests, and develop essential life skills such as leadership, collaboration, and resilience. Co-curricular activities enrich their educational journey, fostering confidence, independence, and a sense of community. By balancing academic rigor with these enriching experiences, we help students grow into well-rounded, capable individuals ready to thrive in all aspects of life.
Our Electives Program gives students the freedom to dive into their passions through a wide range of exciting courses offered each semester. Students choose from a menu of creative options, working alongside peers who share their interests in an environment that encourages exploration and collaboration.
In a departure from the regular academic schedule, each week, we dedicate a full day to these electives, allowing students and teachers to immerse themselves in hands-on, creative learning experiences. Teachers bring their own personal passions and hobbies into the classroom, guiding students in unique and engaging subjects that go beyond traditional academics. Whether exploring the arts, technology, outdoor pursuits, or other specialized topics, our electives offer a chance to expand horizons, discover new talents, and deepen the joy of learning.
Our Athletics Clubs offer our young Llamas the chance to engage in competitive sports while developing essential life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. With a focus on fostering both athletic ability and character, we offer a variety of sports, including volleyball, basketball, and futsal. These clubs provide students the opportunity to challenge themselves physically, build team spirit, and grow as leaders on and off the court.
Through regular practices and competitions, students enhance their athletic performance while learning the values of perseverance, respect, and fair play. Whether they’re aiming to compete or simply enjoy the camaraderie of being part of a team, our athletics clubs help students develop a passion for sports, strong relationships with teammates, and a lifelong appreciation for physical activity and sportsmanship.
At KAIS, our school trips take students beyond the classroom and into the great outdoors, offering unforgettable experiences in Japan’s beautiful countryside. Whether hiking, rafting, canoeing, or tree climbing, these adventures encourage students to explore new limits, all while engaging with our host country’s stunning natural landscapes.
These trips are designed not only to challenge students but also to create lasting memories and strengthen friendships. By stepping out of their comfort zones and embracing new experiences together, students build resilience, teamwork, and a deeper sense of connection with one another.
KAIS school trips combine outdoor exploration with personal growth, making them a key part of our mission to develop well-rounded, confident individuals ready to take on any challenge.
