Wellbeing and Support

How students are nurtured, understood, and kept safe

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

SEL is a core element of HIS's design, integrating Self Awareness, Self Management, Social Awareness, Relationship Skills, and Responsible Decision Making across Advisory (5–10 students per group), Residential Life with House Parents, and Counseling provided by a licensed professional, with Advisory led by Co-Principal Chris Balme who provides specialized staff training.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The primary language of instruction is English, and language support is provided for multilingual students to improve English reading, writing, and speaking, with Japanese taught at an appropriate level for all students.

Mental Wellbeing

The Human Flourishing Curriculum centers wellbeing as a foundation for learning, drawing on research-informed frameworks (e.g., MIT's Compassionate Systems Framework and related work) and is reinforced through SEL, Advisory relationships, Residential Life, and Counseling.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is a top priority with detailed protocols; all staff and Board members receive annual safeguarding training; a designated safeguarding lead coordinates safeguarding efforts; policies align with CIS ITFCP recommendations and applicable Japanese laws; safe recruitment is practiced.

Availability Not shared by this school

Hakuba International School is a small international boarding and day school in Japan’s Hakuba Valley (Nagano Prefecture), near the site of the 1998 Winter Olympics. For 2025–26 it serves Grades 7–11, with plans to reach Grades 7–12 by 2026-27. English is the language of instruction and all students study Japanese at an appropriate level. The school describes a university-preparatory program built around its “Human Flourishing Curriculum,” and it uses project-based learning alongside social-emotional learning. A distinctive feature is its calendar structure: six-week project “bursts” separated by weeks that include outdoor expeditions. Boarding life is supported by two dormitories (girls’ and boys’) that together house almost 50 students.
