UPBEAT International School

UPBEAT International School offers a comprehensive academic program designed to nurture Global Citizens through a holistic education approach. As an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, specifically recognized for the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the curriculum adheres to high intellectual standards. It emphasizes strong linguistic abilities, cultural understanding, and tolerance. Starting with children as young as 57 days old and continuing up to 12 years, the school provides a continuum of education aimed at developing inquisitive thinkers capable of examining topics from multiple perspectives. The educational philosophy at UPBEAT focuses on enhancing students’ thought processes, expressiveness, ethics, and research skills through a transdisciplinary approach.

For the youngest learners aged 0 to 5 years, UPBEAT offers programs like ‘Prep Preschool’ and ‘Preschool,’ which operate multiple days a week. The curriculum for this age group combines inquiry-based and play-based learning, ensuring a well-rounded growth experience that fosters curiosity and creativity. As children progress into the 6 to 12 age group, UPBEAT provides a curriculum that aligns with the educational standards of public schools in Japan while integrating elements from American educational practices. Students engage in core subjects such as English, Reading, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Japanese, promoting not only academic proficiency but also the development of qualities such as open-mindedness, principled behavior, and caring attitudes.

In addition to the core curriculum, UPBEAT International School offers enrichment courses for children from ages 3 to elementary school. These courses are available after school and on Saturdays, providing additional learning opportunities tailored to diverse needs. Advanced Courses are available for students returning from overseas or those who have graduated from Preschool, while Basic Courses cater to those still acquiring foundational English skills. Furthermore, UPBEAT has structured After School and Saturday School programs for students in 1st to 6th grades. These programs create a safe and supportive environment for children during school breaks, allowing them to engage in meaningful activities while fostering social skills and friendships.

UPBEAT International School is committed to cultivating responsible global citizens. The curriculum is designed to equip students with both intellectual and ethical tools necessary for navigating the complexities of the modern world. Through its innovative educational strategies, UPBEAT ensures that students not only excel academically but also develop the character and mindset needed to make a positive impact on society.
