New International School’s new plaque, unveiled to commemorate the school’s 10th anniversary. NEW INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
On June 22, New International School punctuated its 10th anniversary year with a graduation ceremony where a plaque was unveiled, listing the 42 students who have since the school opened. This year the school had the most graduates ever, with nine, some of whom will be going on to boarding schools, some to Japanese high schools, and some to international schools.
The school remains the only completely dual language international school in Japan, with all subjects studied in both English and Japanese, and with two homeroom teachers per class.
The colleges that graduates have attended, are attending, or are about to attend are Carnegie Melon, Mount Holyoke College, Bennington College, The University of San Diego, The University of Oregon, Iver Hills Community College, Waseda, Seoul National University (Pre-Med), Chung-Ang University (Law), Temple, Nihon University, Tokyo University of Technology, Sophia, Dokyo University, and the University of Debrecen Medical School in Hungary.
Most importantly, in the future, graduates may live and work either in Japan or abroad as they have a strong base in English, Japanese, and sometimes even in a third language.
