About this school
Umeda International School (UIS) has operated in Osaka since 2007 and is a member of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI). In April 2024 the school moved to a larger site in the Assorti Hommachi building in Chuo-ku, a short walk from Hommachi and Sakaisuji-Hommachi stations.
UIS offers an integrated programme from kindergarten through elementary, junior high and senior high school, so students can plan their futures without the pressure of entrance exams between stages. Native English speakers teach every day, and the curriculum combines language with history and culture. The school describes its atmosphere as relaxed and free, with individual learning support. Through a partnership with a Japanese high school, senior students can also earn a Japanese high school diploma.
The school runs in-class preparation for Eiken, TOEIC, TOEFL, IELTS, Kanji Kentei and the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, and is a satellite test centre for several of these exams. It also arranges study-abroad programmes, and students can transfer in at any time of year.
