Aoba Summer School Program

for Aoba Neighbors

This program is open to the local community to learn in English and make friends.

Welcome to Aoba-Japan International School’s Summer Program 2025! Now is the time to make plans for summer. We will have two very special programs as part of our Aoba Summer Program this year. The regular program focuses on inquiry-based and hands-on activity-based learning, and this year there is also a strong emphasis on music sessions, where students can enjoy learning to play music instruments. In addition, we are excited to offer the special AI project-building program by a team of Stanford, MIT, and Ivy League alumni this year. We  have also added a team sports, musical instrument special course, and English language skills session in the after-school session. 

Moreover, there will be a music recital on Friday and parents can join it and also can visit other summer program classes too on that day.
