On October 31, Governor Abe of Nagano Prefecture granted official school status to ISAK, the final step in a rigorous new school approval process. Scheduled to open in August 2014, ISAK will be Japan’s first fully-residential international high school, and we are also aiming to become the first high school in Japan that requires all students to complete the world-recognized International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme.
ISAK’s mission is to bring together exceptional students from around the world, developing young leaders who have the vision, enthusiasm and drive to create positive change in the world. The admissions season for ISAK’s inaugural class of students begins November 8.
