Why International Schools Are Becoming More Popular
In recent years, more and more families have been choosing international schools.
And the reason is not only “so my child can speak English.”
In the society ahead, English is not simply a school subject. It is a skill that expands a child’s future options. Whether for further education, future careers, connections with the world, or access to information, English can strongly support a child’s possibilities.
However, the goal is not English ability alone. One of the greatest strengths of an international school is that children develop “thinking skills,” “communication skills,” and “the courage to take on challenges” through daily learning. They learn to express their own ideas, listen to others, and work together while respecting differences. These experiences become a solid foundation no matter which path they choose in the future.
Kumamoto Christian International (KCI) is moving forward as the first school in Kumamoto aiming to become an ACSI-accredited school, placing great importance on educational quality and healthy school operations. ACSI is an international accreditation organization for Christian schools, and it evaluates school quality through many standards, including the learning environment, safety, staffing, and long-term educational continuity. Our goal is to build a school where children can learn with confidence and grow in both heart and mind in a healthy way.
At KCI, we emphasize strong academic foundations and “true understanding” in an English learning environment.
Rather than learning only for memorization or tests, we value learning that children truly understand—learning that becomes real, usable ability.
At the same time, based on Christian values, we also nurture the foundations of character: kindness, integrity, gratitude, and responsibility.
If you are thinking, “I want to choose the best learning environment possible for my child’s future,” we invite you to learn more about KCI.
We are committed to providing careful and sincere education that connects Kumamoto to the world.
School visits and enrollment consultations are available. Please feel free to contact us anytime.
We will continue to update the latest information about mid-year enrollment for the 2026 school year and information sessions for the 2027 school year on the KCI website, so please check there for updates.
For your child’s future, we warmly invite you to come and see the atmosphere of our school first-hand.
