Campbell Ave, Campbell, CA 95008, and Grades 1–8 are located at 1980 Hamilton Ave, San Jose, CA 95125. The school's mission is to provide a nurturing environment for bilingual education, empowering students through a curriculum that develops proficiency in both languages.

Springbridge International School is an independent, coeducational bilingual school offering Japanese/English or Mandarin/English programs for ages 2 to 14. It operates across two campuses: Preschool & Kindergarten at 1625 W. Campbell Ave, Campbell, CA 95008, and Grades 1–8 at 1980 Hamilton Ave, San Jose, CA 95125. The curriculum blends American, Japanese, and Chinese national frameworks, with a Mandarin Immersion Two-Way Dual model and MOE-approved Japanese textbooks for math and language. By grade level, Mandarin/English language balance shifts: early Mandarin-dominant, increasing English. The school fosters biliterate proficiency and cultural understanding through daily use of both languages, with moral, physical education, art, and music integrated in both programs. The Springbridge Foundation supports infrastructure and learning labs, funded by donations, 501(c)(3). Extracurriculars include chess, LEGO engineering, and Japanese language clubs, plus after‑school activities like art, dance, and coding; enriching programs in sports, abacus, and field trips round out the experience. Global, bilingual community.
