OWIS Japan Parent Testimonials

"I really like the teachers here, they are always smiling and are really kind, and it's great to see that they hold a lot of our family's values. My kids also seem to really enjoy their teacher's mentorship style. My children have started the PYP curriculum and are learning lots of things that I wish I had learned as a kid. My child loves the gardening classes, the school pet and anything to do with nature. We love to see that the education is very tangible and hands-on."

Jeremy Carlson

Parent of Students in Early Childhood and Primary School

"OWIS's legacy and big brand presence were a focal point for us. Our son has really enjoyed the strong exposure to science, and today, I saw his presentation on economics. He knows so much more about economics than even I do, and he is just 10 years old!"

Rahul Kaushik

Parent of Students in Early Childhood and Primary School

Every day, I was deeply impressed by the warm smiles and heartfelt kindness of the teachers greeting us. I was moved that so many teachers already remembered the names of my sons, Eric & Ethan.

Can I bring my children to the event?

Absolutely! We warmly welcome families to attend together. It's important for your child to experience the school environment firsthand and see if they feel "I want to study here!" We encourage you to let them explore our classrooms and play areas to get a genuine feel for our campus.

About OWIS Tsukuba

Is there a required English level for admission?

There is no specific English proficiency requirement for admission. An English assessment will be conducted upon entry, and based on your child's level, they will be placed in an appropriate class. English support classes (AEP: Academic English Programme) are also provided as needed, so students who are new to English can join with confidence.

I'm worried whether my child can keep up with lessons. Is there support for students who are not confident in English?

Yes. We offer a comprehensive support system tailored to each student's level. This includes English support classes, after-school intensive English clubs, and multiple support programmes. Classes are kept small (up to 18 students), allowing teachers to provide individualised attention and support.

What commuting options are available?

We offer a variety of commuting options, including a dedicated school bus service, private car drop-off, and public transportation (approximately 15 minutes on foot from Numata Station). The school bus routes are scheduled to be expanded in the future.

Is mid-year enrolment possible?

Yes, mid-year enrolment is possible. OWIS operates a rolling admissions system, allowing students to enrol at any time during the academic year. While August (new academic year), December (Term 2), and April (Term 3) are recommended entry points, we provide support to ensure a smooth transition regardless of when students join.

Can students transfer smoothly from Japanese public or private schools?

Absolutely. Our experienced admissions counsellors provide careful guidance and support throughout the transfer process to ensure a smooth transition.
