The school is accredited by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) to offer two qualifications: the Japanese high school certificate (as an "Article1" school) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP).[3] It is affiliated with Nagoya International Junior and Senior High School, which operates as a day school.
Overview

Classes at the school are limited to 25 students, promoting interactive learning and closer teacher-student interaction.[7] The faculty includes members from various countries, and many hold advanced degrees in their respective fields, according to the school’s faculty records.[8] The school employs the case method of education, a participatory teaching approach that encourages critical thinking and group discussions across various subjects.
High School Program

The Pre-IB year (Grade10) prepares students for the academic rigor of the IBDP, which spans Grades11 and 12. Students study both the Japanese national curriculum and the IBDP subjects, developing research skills, analytical abilities, and self-management skills. The school also offers a Summer Camp and a Bridging Program, which prepares students for the school’s academic structure.
