Primary School Teacher

A very warm welcome to Abroad International School Osaka. We provide an English-based comprehensive education. We are an IB world school and offering the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program (IB PYP). We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio allowing for a strong student-teacher relationship and a variety of extra-curricular activities.

The Nursery (Age 1-3) and Early Learning Centre (ELC) (Age 3-5) sections are for early learners. We recognize all children are entitled to the best start in life and support to achieve their potential. A child’s experience has a vital impact on his/her future life chances, so we do our best to provide them with a safe, happy, and secure learning environment.

At the Primary School, we aim to make children confident and independent learners. We provide many opportunities for students to demonstrate what they have learned. Learning at AIS is inquiry-based, where students are encouraged to identify pertinent questions and construct well-informed answers.
