Director's Welcome

DISK strives to be a community of high-achieving, internationally minded learners led by a team of dedicated professionals, that set children up for success in the International Baccalaureate (IB) and beyond.

Doshisha International School, Kyoto (DISK) is an accredited IB-World school that offers an international education in English. DISK is a member of the Doshisha family of schools established in 2011 as a part of the Doshisha International Academy (DIA). 

​DISK is a candidate school WASC for accreditation, conveniently located in the 'Keihanna Hills' between Kyoto, Osaka, and Nara Prefectures in the Kansai Science City region. 

DISK has the facilities and faculty necessary to help your children become active, internationally-minded members, of our changing world.

Parent's Voice

'The learning environment at DISK must be pretty good because my son is always telling me how much he enjoys it. It's a pretty far commute for him, an hour and a half in each direction, but I've never heard him complain about that. Instead, he talks about how lucky he is to be exposed to nature every day and his plans for his next design project. As a parent, I'm really happy that he has found a school in which he is able to grow academically, socially, and artistically. I really appreciate how the homework assignments and projects are less about memorization and more about critical thinking and presentation skills, which are a lot more in line with real-world work these days.'
