About this school
One World International School Osaka (OWIS Osaka) belongs to the OWIS network of the Singapore-based Global Schools Group, which has campuses across Asia and the Middle East and a second Japanese school in Tsukuba. The Osaka school occupies the site of the former Kyu-sono Elementary School in Shariji, Ikuno-ku, and is a candidate school for the IB Primary Years Programme.
OWIS Osaka currently teaches Early Childhood to Grade 9 (ages 3–15) and plans to open one grade per year, with Grade 10 in 2027, Grade 11 in 2028 and Grade 12 in 2029. Learning is inquiry-based and project-driven, classes have 18 students or fewer, and all teachers hold at least a bachelor's-level teaching qualification. Technology is part of daily learning, with student iPads and MacBooks and a 3D-printer maker space.
English support is a particular focus: Academic English Preparation classes, a four-month transition programme from April to July before the August start of the school year, and an after-school intensive English club. The ACES programme offers after-school clubs, competitive sports, arts and holiday camps, and is open to children from outside the school as well.
