Sakura International School Elementary School is the first school in the world to be accredited with the bilingual International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program in English and Japanese. Students learn in both English and Japanese in an advanced program that aims to nurture individuals with an international perspective.

What is important at our school is not to answer a set question correctly, but to know what is really going on in the world, to be interested in it, to research it, to think about it, and to act on it. Students learn about Japanese culture and history, as well as Haiku and calligraphy, to establish their identity as Japanese. In the upper grades, students can experience studying abroad in New Zealand and learn about the world firsthand.
Another major strength of the school is that all students are using iPads from Grade 1.
We focus on ICT and programming education to cultivate theoretical thinking and creativity, as well as drama, art, and music education to cultivate sensitivity and expression, and to develop the individuality of each child.

In addition, we have introduced a vertical ” House System” to create an environment that encourages communication beyond the boundaries of age and class.
