Osaka International School (OIS) is a coeducational international school, located in Osaka, Japan. OIS educates students from kindergarten (age 4-5) through grade 12. OIS is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges; and it is authorized to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programs - Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). The school’s mission is to serve the international community of Kansai (Western region of Japan including Osaka, Kyoto, and Kobe) by educating students to be informed, caring, and creative individuals contributing to a global community.
OIS shares its campus, facilities and a number of programs with its sister school, Senri International School (SIS), a grade 7-12 Japanese-curriculum school primarily for students who have lived abroad. Secondary students from both schools share classes in physical education, music and art, and high-level students in English and Japanese can take courses in either school. Students from both schools also join for athletic teams, drama casts, and for choir, band, and orchestra groups. OIS enrollment is 250. SIS enrollment is 450.
Founded in 1991, OIS is a member of the Japan Council of International Schools (JCIS), the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the East Asia Regional Council of Schools (EARCOS).
