The programme at Osaka International School (OIS) is designed primarily
to meet the needs of the non-Japanese families living in the Kansai
area of Japan. Operated by the Senri International School Foundation,
OIS has as its purpose the overseeing of an English language based
international curriculum for its students.
Osaka International School operates in conjunction with the Osaka
Intercultural Academy which serves the educational needs of Japanese
families returning from overseas. Programmes in music, art, computer,
and physical education are shared and taught in English at grades

experience. Most have earned their Master's Degrees.

arts are also arranged depending upon demand. ESL is offered in
