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.

  • 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 our Director of Admissions, David Kenney. Please contact David Kenney to arrange a conversation.
