The Japanese International School of Hong Kong opened in 1997. Voted ‘Primary School of the Year’ in June 2021, JIS sits on a large, purpose built campus in the North East New Territories of Hong Kong, where we provide a unique, multi-cultural context for our students.

We have a strong commitment to quality education supported by a dedicated learning community. We have been a fully authorized IB world school since 2007 and utilise the Primary Years Programme (PYP) as our curriculum framework. The PYP compliments our desire to be an international school that develops a deep understanding within our students of issues that relate to their lives locally and globally.

Our students come from a range of nationalities and cultures. We set ourselves high standards in all that we do, both through academic study and the provision of a broad curriculum that encompasses a wide range of creative learning experiences and additional language study- either Japanese or Mandarin.

We have a major focus on the environment and exploring the great outdoors. Students at JIS develop an appreciation and love for nature. At JIS we offer a unique environment that offers high quality facilities, including an indoor heated swimming pool.

With small class sizes, international teachers and extensive resources to support learning, teaching and the development of the whole child, we are a small school with a big heart.

Additionally, we are delighted to be able to offer a full 'through train' of education from 4 - 18 years with our direct link to ICHK Secondary - all students wishing to take up the offer of a place at the school have an automatic transition to Year 7.

We develop positive, open-minded individuals who are creative, active and have a strong commitment to their community and the wider world.
