Located about 40 minutes southwest of Naha Airport, Nanjo City is a picturesque area rich in cultural heritage, including the World Heritage site “”Seifa-Utaki”” and numerous historical sites that date back to the Ryukyu Kingdom era. Known as the birthplace of rice cultivation in Okinawa, Nanjyo City it is revered as the origin of its ancient history, culture, and faith. Stretching along its coastal areas are pristine beaches with white sands and extensive coral reefs offshore, home to a diverse range of marine life. Nanjo City thrives in agriculture, fisheries, livestock farming, tourism, and artistic activities, making it an
ideal environment for exploring various industries and arts from an international perspective.
Q2 If students enroll from the Tokyo metropolitan area or other parts of Japan, how do they live?
Our school does not have dormitories or boarding facilities. Students from outside the prefecture or overseas relocate with their families and reside in areas of their preference where they can commute via school buses. To ensure they establish a satisfactory living base for both academic and personal life, we partner with Okinawa’s top real estate agencies to provide comprehensive support in finding suitable accommodations.
Q3 I'd like to know the ""student profile"" of Okinawa International Academy Senior High School.
At our school, everyone values their “”individuality”” and engages earnestly with high school life toward their self-set goals in a free-spirited manner. For instance, students who challenge entering domestic and overseas universities through our “”comprehensive selection process”” mostly meet the admission criteria without attending cram schools. Focused on “”inquiry,”” our school’s unique three-year curriculum inspires each student to explore what motivates them, how they think and learn, and what kind of societal contributions they can make. This is the essence of the best and most excellent exam preparation and represents the student profile that fits our school.
Q4 What beliefs do the teachers have when engaging with students?
Teachers are recruited globally and selected through rigorous criteria such as document reviews, interviews, and demonstration classes. Currently, a team of elite educators
from nine countries have come together to foster the growth of each student’s global mindset through diversity.
They aim to instill robust intellect and initiative to promote “”innovation”” that contributes to society. Their goal is to cultivate individuals with rich intellect and humanity, capable of thriving internationally. All teachers strive to build a “”lifelong asset”” for every student they engage with, utilizing advanced teaching skills.
