Admissions Events
Event Options
We offer several kinds of events to learn about our school.
Our Information Sessions are a brief introductions to our school’s philosophy, teaching methods, and admissions process, with time for questions from parents and students. Offered in English with live Japanese translation.
Our Pop-Up Schools are a hands-on, experiential taste of project-based learning with our faculty in Hakuba. They are for parents as well, so you can experience this learning format first-hand. They are intended specifically for students applying to HIS in the near future, and serve as an admissions assessment as well.
Our One-Day School is a mini version of our HIS Summer Program, offering a mix of arts, project-based learning, and outdoor education. It’s a fun and active day, and a great way for potential applicants to get to know the school.
Faculty Video Meeting: If you have attended an Information Session and would like to know more about admission to HIS, but cannot travel to Hakuba for an in-person event, we invite you to set up a casual video meeting with a faculty or staff member at HIS. We can answer your questions and share more about the projects and other learning adventures here. Please contact David Kenney, Admissions Director, to arrange a conversation.

We have completed our Fall 2023 One-Day School. We will post future availabilities here as soon as confirmed.
