GLOBAL LEADERSHIP DIPLOMA
The Global Leadership Diploma (GLD) is Aoba-Japan International School’s personalized high school pathway, that can be taken in-person or online. All GLD students are awarded the internationally accredited Aoba High School Diploma. This standard diploma opens the doors to entering top universities worldwide and in Japan, and future career aspirations.
The GLD is a high quality program that:
Empowers students to find their element
Focuses on specific needs and uniqueness of each student
Equips students with the skills to succeed after graduation
FIND YOUR ELEMENTS
At the intersection of your abilities and interests lies your element: where passion comes alive to serve the world. Find your element through the GLD program. Leadership coaches help students identify an area they enjoy and want to learn about. That element then flows through students’ coursework, allowing them to develop knowledge and experience that can be directly applied after graduation.
Build Your High School Path
Every student is unique, with their own personality, strengths, interests, and future goals. The Global Leadership Diploma is designed with student diversity in mind. It allows students to explore their individuality while supporting them to successfully achieve their goals.
The GLD is a flexible and highly customizable senior school pathway that allows students to follow their individual passions and academic interests. The GLD provides a proven pathway for students to enter universities worldwide and succeed in today’s competitive career landscape.
GLD graduates go on to become successful entrepreneurs, artists, scientists, technology specialists, medical experts and more.
Your Leadership Coach and You
The Leadership Coach forms the core of the support system for all GLD students. Each student is assigned their own Leadership Coach who is responsible for working with them over the course of the two year programme to develop their personalised learning pathway and support them on their journey to future success.

Strong Post-graduate Candidacy
Because GLD students come away from the program with experiential learning, a robust portfolio of relevant project work, opportunities to study advanced academic subjects, as well as internship experience the Aoba GLD gives students an edge in their university applications and future careers when compared to traditional high school diplomas.
Upon successful graduation, students are awarded the Aoba High School Diploma. Accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC) the Aoba High School Diploma is fully recognized by Universities in North America, Europe, Asia and elsewhere around the world. The Aoba High School Diploma is also recognized by all Japanese universities.
