The Japanese International School (English Section) follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP) for students from Reception to Primary 6. The PYP provides a transdisciplinary framework, connecting subject areas such as English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, the Arts, and Physical Education through themed Units of Inquiry. Students also study Japanese or Mandarin as an additional language. Learning emphasises inquiry, reflection, and real-world application, with technology integrated through projects and clubs such as Tech Club, where students explore coding and robotics. The curriculum is further enriched by Outdoor Learning, annual camps, and cultural trips that support environmental awareness and community engagement. On completion of Primary 6, students are well prepared for transition to International College Hong Kong (ICHK) or other international secondary schools.
