Introduction

In September 2025, Laurus International School of Science is set to unveil its high school program in Minato City, Tokyo. As one of the largest international school groups with a strong focus on science and innovation, Laurus continues to pave the way for nurturing future innovators. What makes this high school program unique is its blend of the Cambridge International Curriculum with Laurus' proprietary Innovator Program, emphasizing STEM and entrepreneurship.

Background of the High School Program

Founded in 2001, Laurus was Japan's first Science International School, prioritizing scientific thinking and creativity in education. In today's global society, there is an increasing demand for individuals capable of identifying and solving complex problems. To meet these educational needs, Laurus combines the Cambridge International Education with entrepreneurial training, enabling students to create new values on a global stage. Although many international schools in Tokyo offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, there are limited options for students interested in the Cambridge IGCSE and A Level pathways. This curriculum offers significant advantages for students who wish to specialize in specific subjects and those who appreciate well-structured external assessments.

Features of the High School Program

1. Cambridge International Curriculum
The program includes the Cambridge International Curriculum, recognized in over 160 countries. It provides IGCSE and A Level courses that support pathways to overseas universities. This curriculum enables deep academic inquiries and offers clear steps toward university preparation. Students are immersed in an environment that fosters critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

2. Laurus Innovator Program (STEM x Entrepreneurship)
This practical program bridges science, technology, economics, and social issues. Students receive mentorship as they advance their ideas from research and invention to real-world applications.

3. State-of-the-Art Learning Environment
Laurus boasts modern classrooms equipped with the latest technology, specialized science laboratories, and makerspaces for STEAM learning. With small class sizes and a team of experienced educators, the high school provides a supportive environment that prepares students to thrive in today’s fast-paced world.

4. Global Educational Networks
As a Cambridge International accredited school, Laurus fosters partnerships with overseas universities, research organizations, and educational businesses.

5. Support for International Admissions
The school offers comprehensive support for students aiming to study abroad, including application strategies, essay writing guidance, and recommendation letter preparation. Laurus strives to cultivate global leaders who possess academic curiosity, a sense of social responsibility, and an international outlook.
