Haneda International School Opening in April 2026

The Kanno Educational Institution, located in Ota City, Tokyo, is excited to announce the opening of the Haneda International School (HIS) in April 2026. This pioneering school aims to cultivate globally aware individuals equipped to thrive in an increasingly interconnected world.

Since its inception, the institution has adhered to its guiding principles of "Purity," "Prudence," and "Diligence," with its educational objective focused on fostering individuals who are not only beautiful in heart and appearance but also caring and proactive in pursuing their goals. The school’s philosophy, "Think Globally, Act Locally," encapsulates its mission to equip students with the skills necessary to navigate an evolving society. HIS is designed to blend global awareness with local action through a comprehensive six-year program that integrates both perspectives.

The WINGS Program: Nurturing Potential

At HIS, every student is considered a "WINGS," symbolizing their unique potential. The WINGS Program is crafted to empower students and provide them with the necessary tools to soar into the unknown. This initiative emphasizes adaptability in a fast-changing world, while also cherishing the universal values of trust and contribution.

Educational Pillars of the WINGS Program

1. WINGS Exploration: Engaging with the World
Students will embark on a learning journey where they take ownership of their education. This approach connects interdisciplinary learning, school events, and glocal education while nurturing the skills and responsible behaviors demanded by society. The school collaborates with national airlines such as JAL Sky and ANA Group to enhance this educational experience.

2. Glocal Education: Fostering a Borderless Mindset
HIS defines true globalization as recognizing the world as a personal responsibility. By embracing diverse cultures and perspectives, students develop a "glocal mindset" that naturally incorporates both domestic and international viewpoints. Native English-speaking co-teachers will facilitate this language acquisition and cultural exchange.

3. Blended Learning: Combining Skill Development and Intelligence
The curriculum significantly expands core subject classes, integrating diverse ICT tools and monthly mentoring sessions to develop robust academic skills. Students will utilize iPads to enhance their learning experience actively.

4. School Life: Growing Together as a Team
The school will host various experiential events, including a sports festival, international exchanges, overseas study programs, nature classrooms, and 20 km hikes, allowing students to learn and grow through enjoyable challenges. The After School Program (ASP) will feature a wide array of clubs and courses to cater to students’ diverse interests.

Kick-off Meeting for Enrollment

The first round of recruitment for the second cohort will start with a kick-off meeting (pre-information session) on April 18, 2026. This event will inform potential students and their families about HIS’s educational philosophy, the school's life, and the current developments since the inaugural cohort’s arrival. Everyone is welcome to join us!
