Welcome to Horizon Sendai

We are a school dedicated to nurturing global-minded individuals who will shape the future on the world stage.

Our world is home to a rich diversity of cultures, values, and languages, where new encounters and discoveries emerge every day.
The children of today will grow up in a global society where they are expected to overcome differences,
understand one another, collaborate across borders, and at times engage in healthy competition.

To help them thrive with confidence in this ever-changing world,
we foster the ability to understand different cultures, think independently, take initiative, and connect with the world.
We are fully committed to supporting each child as they open the door to their own future.

FEATURES
Deepening Intercultural Understanding Through World-Class Learning
International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP)

In the PYP, students go beyond simply being given the “right answers.”
They are encouraged to discover their own questions, think critically, investigate deeply, and express their ideas with confidence.

From age three through kindergarten, our curriculum is carefully designed to nurture each child’s natural interests, curiosity, and sense of wonder during these formative early years.
Throughout the six years of elementary school, students master the required national curriculum while engaging in interdisciplinary learning that connects knowledge to the real world.
Through this approach, they develop the ability to explore complex questions—questions with no single correct answer—and to think independently in an ever-changing global society.

Empowering Children for a Global Future—From Sendai
Opening Pathways to Tomorrow Through English, Inquiry, and International Standards

Horizon Japan International School Sendai

A child’s first step into global learning—beginning at age three.

Horizon Japan International School Sendai Izumi is an international kindergarten where children naturally acquire English as part of their everyday lives, while their individual interests and passions are carefully nurtured.

Our curriculum is based on the UK’s EYFS (Early Years Foundation Stage) framework and enriched with inquiry-based learning. Rather than simply “learning English,” children play, think, and explore in English through hands-on experiences.

By fostering creativity, critical thinking, and social skills in a well-balanced way, we lay a strong foundation for lifelong learning and future success in an increasingly global world.

Horizon Sendai Primary School

A Bilingual Japanese Primary School

Our school is a private Japanese primary school offering a bilingual learning environment in English and Japanese.

Approximately 50–60% of instruction is delivered in English, with the remaining lessons taught in Japanese. Classes are led by a co-teaching team of an international teacher and a Japanese teacher, creating a natural bilingual environment not only in the classroom but throughout daily school life.

All school communications are provided in both English and Japanese, allowing non-Japanese-speaking parents to stay informed and feel confident about their child’s education.
