About this school
The International School of the Sacred Heart (ISSH) was founded by four sisters of the Society of the Sacred Heart, who arrived in Yokohama on 1 January 1908. The school opened on 13 April 1908 with four students learning in English, and it remains part of the worldwide Sacred Heart network founded by St Madeleine Sophie Barat, with more than 150 sister schools. It is the network's only international Sacred Heart school.
ISSH is an English-medium Catholic school for girls from kindergarten to Grade 12, with Junior School, Middle School and High School divisions. High school students can choose from 23 Advanced Placement courses. The school is accredited by WASC and CIS, is a founding member of the Japan Council of International Schools, and belongs to EARCOS and the International Coalition of Girls' Schools. Activities include sister-school exchanges, athletics, Model UN, debate, choirs, orchestras and service work.
About 600 students study on a single green campus three minutes from Hiroo Station. Facilities include two libraries with more than 34,000 books, a full gymnasium, tennis courts, a futsal pitch, art studios, music rooms and performance spaces.
