Aoba-Japan International School offers an After School Program (ASP) that provides academic support and language learning, along with opportunities in performing arts, creative expression, and competitive sports. The program runs on weekdays after school, typically from 15:45 to 18:15, and is open to internal and external students; it also includes an after-school community English lesson for local residents. ASP includes subject offerings and provides a second-semester guide for planning enrichment activities. The program emphasizes developing leadership, communication, and collaboration through inquiry and action.
Arts and creative opportunities are integrated into the school's beyond-the-classroom offerings. The After School Program includes performing arts and creative expression, and the school features Visual Arts and Performing Arts as dedicated program areas. Summer School adds music-focused sessions and AI-oriented projects, expanding creative exploration beyond the regular curriculum.
Aoba operates community language initiatives such as Aoba Community English School (ACES) to help neighbors practice English with qualified teachers. The After School Program also includes a Language Community School component, offering English or Japanese lessons developed by Aoba for a range of learners. These programs reflect the school's commitment to language development and intercultural engagement within the community.
ASP provides after-school opportunities in language learning, performing arts, creative expression, and competitive sports, supporting social development and teamwork. Seasonal programs emphasize physical activity and team-based activities, including camps and events that blend sport with exploration. The Winter Sports Camp offers activities such as skiing, snowboarding, snowmobile riding, and snowshoe hiking for eligible students, combining recreation with learning.
ASP is open to external students and includes an after-school community English lesson for local residents, demonstrating direct community outreach. ACES serves the surrounding community by offering English language practice through community-focused programming. These initiatives illustrate Aoba's commitment to serving its neighbors beyond the regular classroom setting.
ASP explicitly aims to develop leadership, creativity, empathy, and fair play among participants. The school also supports high-level leadership development through pathways such as the Global Leadership Diploma (GLD) for senior students, which emphasizes research, collaboration, and reflective practice as part of the graduation pathway.
The Hikarigaoka Campus includes a sports pitch, a pool, and a gymnasium to support ongoing physical activity and wellbeing. The school's offerings include Sports & Athletics as a formal program track alongside Visual and Performing Arts, promoting a well-rounded, holistic approach to student wellbeing.
