About this school
Kansai Christian School (KCS) was established in 1970 as an English-language school for the evangelical Christian missionary community in the Kansai region. More than 50 years later it continues to offer a Bible-based, Christ-centred education from Grade 1 to Grade 12 to students from a wide range of national and church backgrounds.
All teaching is in English, and the school keeps classes intentionally small, with low student–teacher ratios and a close, family-style atmosphere. KCS is accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), an accrediting body recognised by the Japanese government, so graduates are eligible to apply to Japanese universities. Alumni have gone on to colleges and universities in Japan, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ghana, Kenya and South Africa, among other countries.
The campus lies between flower fields and rice paddies in the town of Heguri in Nara Prefecture, giving the school a quiet rural setting. School life includes regular chapel services, field trips, athletics such as cross country, and music, and the school is working on a campus expansion project.
