Why Choose OCSI?
OCSI is excited to provide a rigorous, college-preparatory, Christian education for families from Japan and overseas right here in Okinawa. Our mission to equip students to walk with Jesus and impact the world for Him is woven into everything we do. Through an American-based, English curriculum with weekly chapel services, a designated week of service, and a caring community of learners, we provide our students with opportunities each day to pursue our EAGLES: to Excel in Academics, Grow as Learners, and be Equipped to Serve.
As a fully accredited international school, OCSI graduates are able to go on to enroll in top universities around the world, carrying with them the legacy of OCSI wherever they go. Our spacious campus with an amazing ocean view, coupled with richly resourced learning environments – including integrated technology – provide our students every opportunity to achieve academic success in nurturing surroundings. Our students time and time again tell us how much they love coming to OCSI each day!
The key to any school is its staff and OCSI is honored to have a diverse, highly qualified team of native English speaking, certified educators and support staff from all over the globe who offer dynamic learning opportunities and a rich assortment of extra-curricular activities. Our teachers work very hard to ensure they are meeting the individual needs of students while still supporting their socio-emotional success. We know that students who feel safe, cared for, and loved will be ready to learn and tackle new challenges.
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about OCSI. Please feel free to stop by for a campus tour when you can, we would love to get to know your family more and to see if we are a good match for your family’s education goals.
Changes to Our PreK Program:
Beginning in SY24-25, our Pre-K class will be open exclusively to 4-year-olds, with only a limited number of available seats; in SY25-26 the Pre-K class will no longer be offered at OCSI. This decision was made after careful consideration of our resources and educational priorities. As Kindergarten is an integral part of the elementary curriculum in the American system, we strongly encourage new families interested in OCSI’s program to enroll from the beginning of Kindergarten (August). This ensures a seamless transition and adequate preparation for 1st grade, allowing time for each child to grow academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
