If you’re wondering why you haven’t heard of Hakuba International School (HIS) until now, there’s no need to question whether you’ve had your head stuck in the snow all winter – for 2016 bears a year of firsts for HIS.
The school, which is still under development, held its first holiday program this spring, while advising Hakuba’s residents and education board of its long-term intentions: HIS aims to establish a world-class educational institution with boarding facilities in the beautiful valley by 2020. The planned school will cater to students aged from 12 to 18 and be based on the International Baccalaureate Program curriculum.
Hakuba makes for a nature-filled getaway
Following its highly successful spring program, HIS has announced plans for its Summer School 2016, which will welcome a small group of students between ages 12 and 16 to take part in a unique learning experience. During the school holiday break, students can enjoy the pristine air and magnificent landscape of Hakuba while taking part in a range of stimulating activities. Each day is jam-packed with new experiences and opportunities for self-growth, and includes a fantastic line-up of outdoor sports, computer programming, creative arts and music.
