About Hakuba International School
Hakuba International School uses project based learning to address the question how can people and the planet both flourish? Hakuba village and the outdoors is our classroom and we have a half school day to full school day each week designated to an expedition. Students also participate in 3 - 4 weeks throughout the school year in the outdoors, camping, hiking, or on the water learning about nature and outdoor skills. We are currently a 7th - 9th grade school and we are adding a grade each year until we are a 7th - 12th day and boarding school by the 2026 - 27 school year. We are a small school that will only have 20 students in each grade 7th - 9th and 30 students per grade 10th - 12th.

- Is an educational psychologist on staff or available by referral?
- Can you support a child with my child's specific need (e.g. dyslexia, ADHD, autism), and have you done so this year? Ask for concrete examples.
- Is there an additional fee for learning support or EAL — and how much per year?
- Is learning support guaranteed for the full enrolment, or can it be withdrawn later?
