About this school
Hokkaido International School Niseko is the satellite campus of Hokkaido International School (HIS), the WASC-accredited international school founded in Sapporo in 1958. The Niseko campus opened in February 2012 to serve international and local families in the Niseko ski-resort area of western Hokkaido, and it shares the Sapporo school's administration, CEEB code and accreditation.
The school covers three stages:
- Early Years: a multi-age programme for children aged 3 to 5
- Elementary School (Kindergarten–Grade 5), following the International Primary Curriculum, which explores big ideas across subjects through student inquiry
- Middle School (Grades 6–8), linked to the International Middle Years Curriculum used across HIS
Learning makes regular use of the local area, with class outings to places such as the Kutchan Natural History Museum and student research projects presented to Niseko town leaders. The school also runs a summer programme. Students who continue to high school can transfer to the Sapporo campus, which offers Grades 9–12 with boarding.
