It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1) Hokkaido Prefecture – Miscellaneous School (kakushu gakko) accreditation, December 2024. This local government designation formally recognizes KIU Academy Niseko as an educational institution operating within Hokkaido.
2) International accreditation (WASC & ACSI) – currently being sought. KIU Academy Niseko is pursuing Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) and Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) accreditation.
3) Educational model reference – KIU Academy Niseko teaches using KIU Academy Kyoto's WASC/ACSI-accredited model of education. This means the Niseko campus follows the same international-model approach that is already accredited at KIU Academy Kyoto.
KIU Academy Niseko is a bilingual (English–Japanese) international school in Niseko, Hokkaido, located at 56-3 Motomachi and about a five-minute walk from Niseko View Plaza. The school opened in April 2025 and follows the Kyoto campus’s WASC/ACSI-accredited curriculum model, with subjects including English, Japanese, math, science, social studies and Bible, with additional electives such as computer, P.E., art and music. The campus is a two-story building, and the school describes planned outdoor facilities including a basketball court and futsal court, with views of Mt. Yotei. For transport, the school operates a shuttle bus with pick-up points such as Kutchan Station, Hirafu and Kabayama. High school students (Grade 10+) may apply for school-owned apartments near campus if available.
