Osaka YMCA International School

Welcome to Osaka YMCA International School! We aim to provide our community with an outstanding educational experience built around the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. At present, we are a candidate school for the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP). We are also in the process of transitioning to a more international model of education in our Middle School Programme. We plan to offer the only K-12 three programme IB school experience within the city of Osaka. Our intention is to offer a unique inquiry based experience for our students. Building from the IB framework and the expertise of our multinational and multi-talented faculty we will provide extraordinary quality and value to our students and families. Additionally, we will remain true to the traditional YMCA values of youth leadership and community engagement. As a globally minded organization we will strive to connect our students to both the local community and larger globe. Please come and see what all the excitement is about!
