IB Diploma Candidate School
Kyoto International School is an International Baccalaureate school Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 10 and we are now an IB Diploma World School, with Grade 11 opening in August 2025 and Grade 12 in August 2026. We will offer a full range of courses to ensure an outstanding high school offering and access to universities anywhere in the world.
New Facility for Middle and High School – Taiken Campus
KIS is renovating a new facility for middle and high school students, which is called the KIS Taiken Campus. It is about 6 minutes walk from the current KIS campus and opened in August 2024. There is significantly more space for our older students and capacity for continued substantial growth. The facilities include a new science lab, performing arts room, art and design studio, classrooms for all other subjects, and a student study lounge and library. This exciting development alongside our status as the only IB Continuum school (IB PYP, IB MYP & IB DP) in Kyoto, will ensure that KIS provides an outstanding experience and enable the development of a full high school programme for the school with links to universities in Kyoto, Japan and across the globe.
