About this school
One World International School Tsukuba (OWIS Tsukuba) is part of the OWIS network of the Singapore-based Global Schools Group, which also runs OWIS Osaka. The school occupies the site of the former Tsukuba Elementary School in Kunimatsu, a campus with a natural setting outside the city centre. OWIS Tsukuba and OWIS Osaka are candidate schools for the IB Primary Years Programme.
Admissions are currently open from Early Childhood to Grade 6 (ages 3–12). The school plans to add one grade per year, with Grade 8 from 2027 and Grade 12 by 2031, eventually covering:
- Early Childhood (ages 3–5)
- Primary (ages 5–11)
- Junior Secondary (ages 11–16)
- Senior Secondary (ages 16–18)
Teaching is inquiry-based and student-driven, with a STEM strand in design, innovation and technology, research-based literacy practices such as reader's and writer's workshops, and personal, social and emotional learning. Classes have up to 18 students, and a house system gives pupils leadership roles. School buses run from Tsuchiura, Tsukuba, Midorino and Kenkyugakuen stations.
