What kind of education enables people and planet to flourish?
Hakuba International School is a new international boarding school located in the beautiful Hakuba Valley in Japan, dedicated to answering this central question. Our focus is on personal and environmental well-being, combined with deeper learning methods to develop the leaders who can solve the world’s most complex problems.
We trust young people.
We’ve built a school to help them find well-being, to challenge their intellects, and to develop the empathy, wisdom, and leadership our world needs.
